#NaPoWriMo2024 Day 11. My insides reflect my outsides. The ill health shows up in the bleakness of my words. But in the end, there’s always hope. I believe art can save us. But we have to truly see it, read it, and listen to it, instead of…

#NaPoWriMo2024 Day 10. I wasn’t feeling too good so I just made it verse. Question: When the pain hits your tummy thanks to a big pizza pie, that’s still amore?

#NaPoWriMo2024 Day 8, and of course the solar eclipse is the prompt, courtesy of the greatest poet of all, Mother Nature. Lately, I feel like I live in the shadow of those better at marketing their art than I am. And the algorithm doesn’t do much to…

I’m digging #NaPoWriMo2024, quite literally. Can’t you see? It’s a fascinating prompt by @theconstantpoet!

#NaPoWriMo Day 6. I am sitting in the middle of a crowded café, between film festival screenings, and writing sexy words about… the nape of his neck. What to do? it is a turn on 🤷‍♀️ And Fleabag gets me 🙌 Poetry prompt by @literarychills.

I was attending a film festival so it was only fair to do this prompt for #NaPoWriMo Day 5! Poetry Prompt by @lrsterlingpoetry Though I love a grand gesture! Can you spot all the movie nods?

One of the reasons I love fantasy shows like Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries is because, in those stories, death is never the end. Ever since I read Tom Sawyer, I’ve nursed this fantasy of what it would be like to walk into my funeral, all…

#NaPoWriMo Day 3 got very cheeky🙈IDK why but it sounds like a teen popstar’s single🤣 I was introduced to Meme Prompts and I loved them! The last slide was my inspiration, but we all know this to be true about a few *ahem* people in our followers…

His eyes are green as fresh pickled toadHis Impala is as black as a blackboardI wish he were mineHe’s a virile manifestation of the divine,The hero who loved an Angel of The Lord. -x- For #NaPoWriMo Day 2, I wanted to have fun and write a limerick.…

Like an itch I can’t scratch,Or wouldn’t, or shouldn’t,Simmering underneath the skin of my fingersThe words threaten to ooze outSo I clench my fists tightTo dispel the needBut the stench of fear lingersThreatening to reveal what I can’t talk about.…

Have you ever been read like poetry?Not a casual beach read, rushingly consumed,Or heavy prose, languorous and laboured.Poetry demands pause.To be given time is to be truly loved. Have you ever been understood like poetry?Not always literal, just on…

2020 has been a shitty year that made us beg even for toilet paper, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. But that wasn’t the only catastrophe we faced this year, did we? Let’s see… there were wildfires, recession, that Dalgona coffee and banana bread…

By Jinal Bhatt American poet Robert Frost wrote 'Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening' after he pulled an all-nighter writing another particularly long poem. When he finally realised it was morning, he stepped out to see the sunset and was inspired…

"She’s a feminist," they whisper in hushed, judgy voices As I go around making seemingly normal choices They overthink if I don’t ask a man to give up the 'reserved' bus seat I bring ladies finger in the dabba; they think, "Oh maybe that’s what…

Dear Woman, please lend me thy ears, The world has seen enough of your tears. There was a time, yes, when you had to keep mum As you walked on the road, catcalled by eve-teasing scum Or got pushed down when you demanded equal wages Because ‘Equality’…
