My favourite flavour! Hey all! I'm back with my next minute poem. Enjoy!Munching on sweet orange wafers,Snacks to savor!Cream adorns mouthNow fighting drouth.Raiding the refrigerator,Cryin' in rapture,Ne'er can refuseRefreshing juice.Putting things back,creeping out,Mom comes about,"Why're you in there?Oh,you didn't dare..!!!" -The Forgers of FantasyP.S: This has been penned for DVerse, where poets were asked to …
Many Waters-The Complete Renga
About a month and a week ago, I saw four of my haikus published in the blog The Skeptic's Kaddish. Not long after that, a kind person asked if we would continue this to write a renga together. I had never done a collab before,and so I wanted to try it, and agreed. Soon, David(owner …
What Happens After Death?
Hey all! I'm back with my next poem. Enjoy!The house was deserted,Housing no-one but me,I lay on my bed forgingFantastical poetry.My body forced me backWhen I tried to rise,As if,it would resultIn an excruciating demise.Then again,I thought,Eventually,all shall meet death.What point be there,in fearingOur last,wheezing breath?Some say the dead journeyTowards heaven,or hell.The wicked shall suffer,While …

Enjoy!The Valley of WicksAmidst the dark,Stands,a lone flameWhose radiance stark.The Valley of WicksBlazes,devoutTo providing warmthTo those without.Revered by all,Rebuffed by none,The Valley of Wicks shines,A second sun.If alone and helpless,In the cold of night,That inextinguishable candleShall provide ye light.The Valley of WicksShall dazzle with lightIf only we …
Shivering
Hey all! I'm back with my next quadrille,in the form of a cadralor. Enjoy!Winter arriving,People relish watching snowPounding on rooftops.Glacial weather,Shivering families seekFireplaces cozy.The rich reveling,Within the warmth of houses,Observing Christmas.The poor lie listless,Starving,on sidewalks,beggingFor morsels of food.Winters' happinessIs happiness eternalIf universal. -The Forgers of FantasyP.S: This has been penned for DVerse, where poets were …
Ares
Hey all! I'm back with my next poem. Enjoy!There once lived a tigerThat was sharp as Ares.True to its name,A fearless, roaring beast.Its eyes painted brownWhose sharpness immense;Its pads strolled soundless,Ne'er betraying its presence.Its claws sharper than knivesGleamed a scintillating white;Displayed,to terrified forestThe tiger's tremendous might.Yet, 'twas not its daggers,Nor its Hawk-like ears;That instilled in …
The Whatnot tree
Hey all! I'm back with my next poem. Enjoy!The Whatnot tree stands,A colossal creature.With crooked leaves a-hanging,A tree of strange nature.Wearing lush greeneryAs an elegant crown,The trunk boasts of enormity,The biggest ever known.All travelers stop to restUnder the whatnot tree;Pluck fruits gleaming turquoise,A renowned delicacy.Hanging from wide branches,Fruits infinitely sweet;Yet to consumers enticed,A rather deadly …
