I slowly roll grievetouch it for a momentand throw it as far as I can I unroll my heartletting you into itbeacon of it burns bright a kindred, I foundin nothingness that was-and firmly established it in me “I await with impatience for it to wash me over, again and yet again”

Revision Redux

Anyone else out there in the process of revisions? If so, how’s it going? Most of my poetry is instant, written at the spur of the moment or at a whim. That means what I post here are mostly raw and/or rough drafts. Initially when I started writing, I never used to go back improving [...]

A Writer’s Meme

Thanks Becca, for the meme. What’s your favourite genre of writing? In one word, I would say “poetry.” But I also venture out for short prose pieces which are stream of consciousness one. I think more of Kafka whose writing is filled with symbolism too, instead of Woolf. Frankly I did not like Mrs Dalloway [...]

setting about a routine

Writing comes fairly easy for me, especially poetry. Most of the times, I do it unthinkingly, some inkling of what I am going to write coming out of virtually nowhere from the recesses of my mind. It might seem strange as most know that I am a teacher, a mathematics teacher at that, who needs [...]

Champions of writing and bonding

Are you having a hard time staying the course toward fulfilling your writing dreams? What are you doing about it? Despite being a teacher, that too a mathematics teacher, I am kind of disorganised. However, writing is the only thing I stick to regularly. Yes, there are days I can’t write but those times are [...]
