Tent is a rain magnet. Clouds in motion gather, forming a cascade that drenches everything beneath the sky. Real beauty lies not in the rainbow after the transient flood, but in quiet moments between the downpour. For you realise the world doesn’t care if you live or die. Indifferent, Mother Nature shrugs her shoulders, as if to say, “It’s just another day. Get out there and dance!”
Tent beckons rain’s call
Moments of clarity arise,
Nature’s indifferent stance.
For Write Right @Thotpurge
Call for calm amidst world’s angst
Echoes of peace where battles bend
A pause in the storm, even though
Some seek to avenge the deep loss
Every soul yearns for peace to unfurl
For grass to grow where debris adorns
In ceasefire’s embrace hope ascends
Rebirth emerges as spring’s gentle sigh
Ever so timely for dreams to amplify.

Words are building blocks
lines lend rhythm and flow
for stanzas not to divide us
as we fight for a just world
Rhyme isn’t always necessary,
for a meter carries the weight
but don’t breathe a word of it;
it’s the irony of weak syllables!
Imagery is vivid and evokes
a range of emotions; each vying
for control as structures crumble
under melancholic suffixion
Can a metaphor fix a harsh tone
and let us explore universal truths
without fear of heavy themes
or abandoning our hearts?
I shared an excerpt of this poem on Instagram, and now I’m sharing the full poem here. It’s a way of priming myself (adjust my thoughts and emotions accordingly) for NaPoWriMo in April, as I’m participating this year.
“There’s so much happening…so much to say…so hard to say…so hard not to…” — Rajani Radhakrishnan
Are you participating in NaPoWriMo? If you haven’t decided or found prompts that speak to you or your world, as it is right now, check out Rajani’s call and prompts on her blog, Thotpurge or Instagram, if you publish your poems there.
While I’ll be sharing some poems here (more frequent than usual), I may be super slow in responding to comments. However, I want to assure you I truly value and read every one of them. 🙂
Otherwise, happy writing and reading & a restful Easter weekend!
