Flared Pants, Mini Skirts and Mr Eliot
How like Eliot it is in tone.
Even the landscape has the grime
of London in each line. I must have been
no more than nineteen when I wrote
the poem caught in the spell of his hypnotic
rhythm and rhymes.
The bright, clean air of my home
was seen through the filter
of a foreign fog, his soulful exhaustion

April Showers
In the hush of April showers,
Whispering secrets of rebirth and decay,
I find myself lost in the labyrinth
Of dampened streets and sodden souls.
The rain taps softly on my windowpane,
A rhythmic reminder of time's ceaseless flow,
And I, a specter in this world,
Drift aimlessly through the fog of existence.
Each droplet a prism, refracting memories,
Fragmented visions of forgotten days,
Echoes

George Eliot
George Eliot, an important English Victorian Era writer,
born Mary Ann Evans, she must have been quite the fighter.
Supporting abolitionists and loving whomever she wanted,
“Marion” went against the norms, seemingly undaunted!

She Is a Poem of Eliot
Every night at a pub,
I see her, the girl with the blond hair
and blue eyes, a beauty to behold.
Her gaze draws me in,
and I can’t help but steal glances.
If you ask me what are the eyes
They were the first eyes I ever saw
I can see the heavens in them,
a glimpse of something beyond this world.
She

Wasted
the first time that we saw him
we were worried for his health
he was sat upon a seat nearby
and talking to himself
his fingernails were broken
like his unconnected speech
and he spoke of really nothing
as he stared towards the beach
the next time that we saw him
he was stroking a stray cat
whose paws were hid beneath its fur
right where

To Be Like Eliot
My faithful quill recumbent
Motionless
Stark against the virgin parchment posed upon my desk
The peeping moon breaks through grimy windows
Mocking me as the mantel clock chimes the cheerless Midnight
Another day laid to waste
The poet’s canvas unblemished
Harmonizing with his imagination
My eyes, cast red with weariness, avoid the empty scroll
Wandering, they fall upon an oak case
Lined with leather-bound treasures
Names

A Disloyal Eliot
I know a disloyal lady from Eliot
In the beginning, she was very sweet
Whatever she did or done with her
She always sent me tweet
One day I visited her town hotel
She gave me a worst treat
She was sitting with anonymous
They came there for something to eat
I came back to home crying
My body got full of the heat
I

Age of Staggered Man
This Age of Staggered Man
Needs a timely thought
The Invincible Destiny is hovering over head
Why the youth is being wasted
O'er things which are dead?
The invisible burden over the shoulders
Of this feeble 'hollow man' of Eliot
Is too tremendous to tread
Steadily on the Treacherous Terrain
Would all the thinking go in vain?
The heart of a
