Under the stars





















Spine held firm together,
Pressed against roof;
Star, a dim light in fog,
Extended his fingers;
Mischievous star,
Hid behind clouds;
A tear flowed,
Star, immaculately, came out;
Hollowness, steep,
Chasm, ever widening;
Sky, earlier an invitation,
Daunting, it felt;
Arm fell by side,
Under a star;
Abstained for so long,
Atlast, he gave up.

  4. Bro!..Abandoning the traditional rhyming scheme and opting for romance with words, your poems are up to the pinnacle of modern spell...I am no one to define the scales but I do fido on your writings and I feel that you should write more.

    Suggestion: Look out for some romance in rhyming scheme also.

  5. Can you elaborate why your character in the poem gave up?...cos its just a part of manifesto...I want to hear the whole interesting story from you.

    Please post your answer in comments column only.

  6. Gave up? :)

    Understandable.

    I would suggest the same again, concentrate on the flow. Your poems will be nothing short of hypnotic then.

    And I'm sorry. :)

  8. hey shake
    the imagery u hav tried to bring across is really beautiful but i found it a bit distorted... it is not completely in flow which might b due to ur missing rhyme scheme or sumthing else...
    but the overall impact of this poem is picturesque and the adjectives used to describe a feeling are apt and interesting...
    lovely poem
    keep going...
