Liatra
Pasha Acremodios grew greedy,
discontented with the domain he dominated,
so he turned covetous eyes toward Farabia,
sending his soldiers to seize this ripened plum
Spoiling for a fight and fighting for spoils,
his army swept across Farabia
like a bloody...

Will You Tie My Shoes When I Grow Old
You were beautiful,
my tiny child,
wrapped tightly in my arms,
close to my heart.
I listened to you breathing.
I counted your fingers
and your toes.
Helpless,
you cried out to me
and I loved you
with every ounce of...

Dearest sister-in law,

The Pierced Nothing
Her skin is textured fabric
and a lovely pair of…odd eyes of ink
black and sheen green.
Cherry cheeks, heavy-handed
for his amusement.
Lips sewn to silence
just the way he likes her.
Living only through him
though she’s not alive.
Criminals...

Things . . .
Things?
Things!
Just ordinary
Things.
Familiar Things.
Everyday Things.
Obvious Things.
Even trivial Things.
Things seen
Front on or
From an angle.
Things glimpsed.
Things touched.
The smell
Of Things.
The feel
Of Things.
Things?
Yes just Things.
But all Things
That remind
Me of you.
Some Things

My Birth Place
Cape Comorin (Kanyakumari) of Tamil Nadu,
Might be copious of the core concept called Xanadu;
Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea,
Amalgamate and mingle here, like mermaids, full of glee...!
Treasures of silver, gold, and gemstones...

Violet
In London, away in a terrace
Half-hidden with elm trees and grime,
Lived young Violet, in her parents' house,
Left alone for near all of the time,
As her mother had no patience to teach her
And her father was...

My Grandmother
Far away when the sun goes down
The evening steals in quietly
Settles down waiting for the night
The birds fly to their nests
The animals seek shelter
Owls and bats come out for food
The cricket starts calling
The lamps is...

The Chair
To the one who sat here so very long ago
Rooted, I daresay, with so many things to sow
Your needlework is etched upon the faded fabric
Where the story you convey, is interwoven magic
Between the struts and...

Poets Escape
Poets Escape
by Odin Roark
How willing
This heart and mind
Absorbing pain's daily prose
Global flagellation becoming
Best sellers
Top Box-office
Google's lifeblood
Whether Syria's dismemberment
Washington's absurdity
Or Hollywood's Grand Guignol Follies
Exhausted passions and intelligence
Clutter...

Weave of Life's Fabric
Sewing machine, long idle, gathered dust
Polished now in the hallway, my fond antique
Recalling Grandaunt’s delicate craftwork--
Each pattern of fabric threaded with zest,
As her hands would bounce around pinpoint needles,
Weaving an array...

It is the grey of evening...soft lamps glow as our hood readies itself for some crumbs of comfort:
Old widows wrap themselves with pillows for third- hand affection,
Children yawn sure as day that mothers will lullaby...

Family Heirlooms
Family heirlooms
Some collect old art pieces, jewelry or photos.
Others, end tables, organ benches, or beds
If it belonged to Grandma or Grandpa it’s a keeper.
Especially fancy needlework and piecework spreads.
And if it belonged to way-back generations,
Better...

Hopelessly Gone
Hopelessly Gone
Hopelessly gone
Blue skies in the horizon
Sand on the shore
Homes on the ocean
Sandals at the door
Hopelessly gone
Keepsakes you were saving
Baby pictures and clothes
Decorations and momentums
Ribbons and bows
Hopelessly gone
Trophies and tokens
Rackets and balls
Kitchens and...

Leftover Wool
When my knitting queen aunt
Feels that needlework pull,
She starts knitting some squares
Using leftover wool.
They’re rectangles, really,
With colorful stripes,
Their patterns and stitches
Of similar types.
Then when there are enough,
Using needle and thread,
She will sew them together...

Embroidered
I got a SoupMail; didn’t know
Who sent it, so I read it.
A person found a poem of mine
And had the thought to thread it.
By that, I mean embroidery –
She stitched it, oh, so neatly,
