Shambhavi Gupta Poet Rhyme

The art of looking back

Incomplete are the thoughts of my head like this
Can't say but can't express like this
Dots connect to make some pattern 
Am I too naive to make it exist like this

Maybe they mean something to me
Or maybe I felt like this
How did people of my life
Became dots to connect like this

With the meaning of punctuation to show things end
When did these dots connect to make a string like this
I assume it all to be falsely mistaken
Never thought I would make a pattern asymmetrical like this
 
I sometimes try to bring the dots close to see constellations
They stand so far for the moon's light to shimmer like this

Lin Lane August 23, 2026 at 9:33 AM We can't always fathom of what things are supposed to expose. Connecting the dots could lead us astray if even one is out of order. Your poetry delves deeply into this question. Shambhavi Gupta August 26, 2026 at 8:05 AM Thank you for your meaningful insight

Alison A Smith August 21, 2026 at 9:51 PM A beautifully reflective piece that captures the uncertainty of memory and emotion through its recurring image of scattered dots. The constellation metaphor is especially evocative, suggesting that even an asymmetrical life can hold its own quiet pattern and light.❤️ Shambhavi Gupta August 21, 2026 at 10:52 PM Thank you for your insight!
