Best Authors Poems


And so, we write

we write as if it is our last night
we write whether it be with lead or ink or typed
we write alone or in a crowded environment
we write come rain or sunshine
we write because we want our stories to be told
we write through every phase; it is universal
we write even if our voice is never heard
we write when we are loved and when all hope is lost
we write regardless of our social class
we write because it feels wrong to stop
we write because it helps connect us 
we write because we are all writers at heart
we write until our last breath on earth

~Author's  Notes:

The Acrostic  is  a form that takes the letters in title to begin each line in poem.
This is left justified. There's no set meter to this style, rhyme is optional.

The Nonet is a poem style that begins with 9 syllables all the way to one syllable, and it can be reversible the other way around, starting with one syllable and ending with the nine syllable line.

Premium Member To the Authors of Manimekalai - Part Two

Part Two

To have written is to leave but a mark
  nothing stands for the proud rhyming syllables
    more than his acquired business acumen
a Vaishya karmic hope

Now we stand aghast before this edifying monument
      and verily wonder at some man
who may have in gusting wind and blasting brine
clung to his loincloth on the scaffolding
  his knotted hair thick with the chimes of the Colamandala tide
the bells from Mahabalipuram to Chidamparam tolling in his veins
   his sinewy rhyming muscles pulsing to the chiselling of reliefs
       in memory of Kannaki and Matavi
             and the liana apsara Manimekalai
in her forbidding expunging of her caste courtesan rôle
                      the lethal unmaking of an infatuated prince

Tied then to the creaking wooden framework
left by Ilango Adigal's epic-making epic
                                   his stomach heaving
the low burning wicker lamp stinging his nostrils
  in the stilled small hours
     his eyes hardly following the olai leaf of his beaten memory
night after sleepless night
    his merchant's paunch and eyes sagging
        wife and mistresses in unrequited rut
                                      while in tryst forlorn
one thought lingering under the tree in Bodhgaya
lamenting for the disciple's offering of trichinosis
he lets the dawn creep into his ears
with the kuyil's ironically teasing call
                  the fingertips charred with lampblack
till loaded cartwheels grind on the gravel of his spent dreams

It is easy for us now to quibble over him
  and make much of when he may have conceived his poem
for at least in so doing he comes alive
       only to be killed 
          revived 
   chided 
                praised 
    drowned in words
more than he has bequeathed us

Premium Member To Stand Against the Crowd

     

An online site is, in no way, for the meek.

You must live in conformity, giving no cheek!

Worse, one must be a jolly gal. or smiling fellow.

Living in a pretentious world, all bubbly-mellow!



The masses loathe those, going their own way.

You must conform, or forego your right to play!

Writers must be individuals, and have their unique say.

To deny them this quality is indeed, a very tragic day.

Premium Member From the Authors Desk-Good Knight Original Bond

We lost a special guy  

Worked secretly as a spy  

Sean Connery was his name  

Acting smooth in a manipulative game  

Taking a character from literature  

Making it good looking using a moving picture  

Getting attention  

Using the latest invention 

That was not a flying car  

Whose driver is still a living star  

Appearance very calm  

Stating many times Bond, James Bond  

Like a good Scottish Brit  

Displayed the powerful stiff upper lip  

Shaken not stirred  

Sending a message not needing to say a word  

Traveling the world  

Next to the latest cover girl  

Some good some bad  

This film fantasy was truly the cinema fad  

Tonight, Sir Sean could be on the prowl  

Seeking out enemies being foul  

Maybe Pussy Galore  

On the heavenly Casino floor  

Having English Breakfast with Sir Roger Moore  

Which results in both Bonds being shown the angelic door  

Now talking about placing gold on the finger  

Could be the record hit by the well-known singer  

All artists working together  

Presenting a blockbuster peaceful action pack letter  

Explaining the well-groomed leading man  

Waving a heroic hand  

When taking the adventurous stand  

Good night  

My fine theatrical knight  

You put up a winning fight  

Giving the written vision a proud visual sight  

Leaving a dreamer author eternal might
