from the eyes of a Chennaite :D

In the lanes of chennai

can you see amazing sights

not just brawl or petty fights

especially in the nights

among dazzling lights

displayed are wares in pretty might

excuding and glowing bright

hope it was good insight

so catch your flight

and just sit tight

be here overnight

incredible imagining alright

sure it will delight

nothing to fright

anytime i'm your knight

so in peace alight

during twilight

and be the usual wight

learning about chennai's sleight

and lets not be slight

with a torchlight

being ultralight

hop around with hindsight

and more foresight

enjoying spright

in dimly lit streetlights

also learn about peoples plight

bring the issues spotlight

and be citizens upright

have dinner by candlelight

munch on cookies got inflight

and not be overweight

later in hospital blight

eight can only be eight

so it rhymes right

because it contains ight

this is going nowhere straight

because the writer is not ultra bright

funny typing it all tonight

phew!!! end of it... even i couldnt bear..so am ending this here... but still there are words ending with ight...maybe some other time :P

this is my first attempt at aimless humour especially in poetry, shall try to write a more meaningfull and also describing in detail about chennai culture,food,places et cetra :D

helping me in this endeavour was this website www.morewords.com and last but not least, my ever loving WordWeb software with which i couldnt have gotten here,feeling notaglic...lol... :D .. writing in front of you and of course myself :P

Mistakes and mistakes

Mistakes and mistakes

That's what I seem to make

With just one step I take,

a thousand rules I break

My whole future is at stake

Innately miserable all night I stay awake

The tears I cry can imbue a lake

My smiles are all plastic and fake

Mistakes and mistakes

That's what I seem to make

With just one step I take,

a thousand rules I break

My attempt at monorhyme poetry style

Frozen In Ice....

In the darkness of the night,
sleepless stay my dull eyes
the same that once shone so bright..

But then,those were good times
life was a vase full of rosy smiles,
with you around,everything was nice...

The air is still heavy with your cries
and the bed so chill,where you chose to die,
i never knew before,that love had a price...

No consolation or memory can ever suffice
the aurora held by our selfless ties,
i stand today lifeless,as if frozen in ice.

Meeting in Future

In a chilling evening of Jan
Somewhere in Japan
The sky was red with a hint of cyan
She called out to the blind man
She offered him her flan
She said, “I’m your fan.”

He turned to her span
And stretched his hand.

Tears in her eyes – out they ran
As she looked at the man -
One of her own clan
She could very well scan.

Zoom passed a yellow van
It ruffled the old man.
He fell down and screamed again
As the time when he ran
Away from her, as far as he can.

Her hands trickled the bran
As he fell on the lawn
She whispered aloud, “Tan!”



... thinking of a meeting, sometime, somewhere in the future ... would love to do that, but then, if I can't even see you??

Of those boys...

As upon the grass, I did lie,

I look upward to the heaven sky,

All I want is an answer to why,

And all I can do is think and sigh.

Oh grass green and birds that fly

Why oh why, did he say goodbye?

Why our love did he deny?

Why did I think he was my ally

When all he was me defy?

Why on him, did I rely?

It hurts, I think I might die.

I look up with one eye

I see a boy with smile sly

He came to me with a walk spry

"I will take you away, if you comply"

Said he. "Come give life a try."

I went with him with a tongue tie'.

A boy of 4 taught me not to cry

And not to stop just for a goodbye.

Monorhyme - my take.

I dono what to call it, but err, read:

Right when the moon hung low!
and night was passing with a tread so slow,
standing b'neath the orchid's bough,
her cheek lit with a divine glow!
she smiled, she laughed and cried in a row,
and drown in his eyes, his brow!

when the stars celebrated the unison below,
the heavens cried, 'let it grow!!'

Love, had bought them a brillant show!



working on my take for Choka!

The result of a crazy day..

Disclaimer: I'm energy deprived since I had no breakfast or lunch owing to my stupid college.. So if people wanna kick my ass, you are totally welcome to do so!

Very quick, I haven't been, to cite

Indeed you are my star shining bright

Never ever, I hope, we do fight

A true friend, you are, to listen to my plight

Your poems, like you, are always a delight.

A crazy girl, one day, had me stun,

So many similarities, maybe a ton

Because of it, a new relationship begun

An amazing lady who has many hearts won

Her dreams, may they never come undone.

Pretty, she is just as her name

Reign the kingdom of poetry is her aim

A golden heart, may it always be the same.

Teaching us poetry is now her game

She is one of the kind, I proclaim

Known her not for long

A bond still prevails,quite strong

Justice to her wont be this song

A darling she is, that ain't wrong

Live life without a worry for the throng.

Monorhyme

It all started with this poem of Kings followed by mine and Kajal's poems.

Then John also found out that this is a monorhyme.So lets go ahead with writing monorhyme poems this week!!


A MONORHYME is a poem in which all the lines have the same end rhyme. There is no set amount of syllables per line, nor any restrictions on the amount of stanzas.

(Example by Dick Davis)

excerpt from A Monorhyme For The Shower

Lifting her arms to soap her hair
Her pretty breasts respond – and there
The movement of that buoyant pair
Is like a spell to make me swear
Twenty odd years have turned to air;
Now she’s the girl I didn’t dare
Approach, ask out, much less declare
My love to, mired in young despair.


Have fun!! Rhyme on!!
Stupid poems will be welcome too !!

What a rhyme!!! - Poetry Style - Monorhyme

I wrote this one for the about me section in orkut wayback when it was introduced and i joined it , no idea about the poetry style and all wrote what i thought felt in my mind suits me the most. Please do fill me in if it belongs to any specific poetry style. :)

picked from my blog C m U

At the time of writing this or even posting this i had no idea whether even this can be categorized into poetry but after seeing how prats inspires us into teaching and writing new styles of poetry,This is a specific poetry style, i did a bit of search and came across what exactly the style is,it is called monorhyme.
