Tale of Two Cities and Two Captains
Well what the Dickens is going on? My choice as the greatest scribe and voice of our tribe Charles not himself a cricketing man but definitely a fan Twas…the tale of two skippers and two cities Both burdened by the weight of Great Expectations from both nations Cometh the hour cometh the Shubman Cooing classical looks…wooing crannies and nooks Eschewed the media...

I AM A CRICKET
I'M A CRICKET I feel like a cricket Tucked away in the thicket But with a brave mindset to put up new verses radiating with the rays Of the sun that rises in the deep west. Indeed I'm a cricket, So uprightly prostrate Dressed and wingless but calmly seated On muscular hind legs In my weakness strengthened:- In bravery to escape. In essence I feel so great Blessed with long legs So hoarse...

The Cricket Stops
Hollow people masquerade  Down lonesome roads full of rock and bones Never finding what they don’t know they’re searching for… Under the silent moon the cricket stops Leaving the table too soon The blood drops Hollow people start to fade Reality drifts farther away Burning desires- sparks ignite fires Wayward traveler moving on Tried to say goodbye, but I’m already gone...

There was a lady named Cleopatra. She was sad, so I said, "what's the matta?" "Caesar was stabbed by a brute." Then, Mark Antony said "You're cute!" And Cleopatra...

Premium Member Cricket Match in Battersea Park
Cricketers playing on the lawn White figures on the grass The rhapsody of ringing phones Is heard as passers pass It’s just the picture of a large Idyllic sunny day Uneven shadows on the marge Are also in the play No pawns to sacrifice for kings No queens rampaging free The game looks peaceful, so it brings A sense of peace to me What if I...

Premium Member Elongated Cricket
Elongated cricket did a two-step dance He had learned in the south of France He is dapper and distinguished my cousin said. I rolled my green eyes to the back of my head. He’s a cricket! A bug, nothing at all! I replied. Elongated cricket slapped my head up to one side. Sorry, I told him, but I did not realize...
