Aditi Mishra Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Tales

Blazing dusk witnessed 
a stir in the fire, 
rising stars watched them 
stretch their tiny wings 
on voyage afar 

to the land of 
honour and truth; 
born of ashes, 
undead in flames, 

built from fire 
of spirit 
and valour; 

burnt cage 
rebirths 

tales.

Aditi Mishra May 24, 2020 at 5:42 AM Those are really encouraging words of appreciation Jenish. I had started writing in 2006. How poetically you appreciate me.
