Ghost, River, Shiver, Gaze, Wicked, Cold Someone stood by the river, I was glad I wasn’t going to be the only one, I was to come with my grandfather, But he had been unwell. I greeted the man, He only nodded in response, I gazed at him but he seemed oblivious to my scrutiny, He was busy with his net, A cold wave of...

My heart is beating faster, As I hear the faint sound of that laughter. Tickling my senses, I feel defenceless As I gaze into your brown eyes— Alive and wise. A ghost of your former self, Like the picture on the shelf, Tenderly staring at me As I drop to my knees. I shiver with cold; I would give all my gold To have you alive. Instead, I’m...

,How seasons and weather change the way I shiver pleasantly from their anonymous ways--- daring in the heated blisters of summer's flesh, then mysterious through winter's ghost... There's no way to measure each and every cycle's radiance--- I don't know why they are equal in lush revelries, untamed yet graceful along pendulums of time. Still, I thrive, fumble, and journey once again to...

Words Used Ghost, Heart. (Nouns) Shiver, Deliver, (Verb) Wicked, Viscous, (adjectives) I had a friend- jovial and sweet, in my college days. The same room, we had shared at the hostel. I noticed, by and by, she was losing her sprightliness. Had no clue, what upsetting thoughts nagged her HEART. One night, she woke up screaming- “GHOST, Ghost” Looking delirious she said petrified,...

river ghost shivers gaze vicious wicked We rowed around the river bend; the moon peeped under a black cloud. An eerie feeling it did lend- beheld a ghost with a black shroud. Our shivers increased as we rowed; it followed us with a blank gaze. And, then air currents quickly flowed as winds intensified the haze. What is this vicious scene we see? What does...

My heart with such dread is reeling. I’m looking up at the ceiling. Something’s there though it’s something I can’t see. I felt it first when it went right through me. I shivered then because it felt so cold. The room is frigid. What do I behold? The ceiling fan is spinning round and round. It’s not turned on! Is something here...

River, Heart, Gaze, Eclipse, Lush, Tender ------------------------------------- A gentle flowing RIVER reflecting an ECLIPSED moon no tides, no pretended pull, unlike influenced ocean flows TENDERLY not hurting dear lives depending on her LUSH vibrant gulmohar trees stand sentinel banking her where greenish feathery leaves sway to give full shade decor They speak in new love whispers, meaningless sweet so nothings Oh! Tired song birds sleep-perching light on frail branches of...

NATIONAL POETRY MONTH Staring at me from within my mind The memory that one cannot erase And no-one else to share my yoke Like a ghost that forever will haunt A heart so cold, it makes one shiver And blood rushing like an icy river A sense of foreboding it will deliver Tender smiles gone as I look gaunt See what a viscous liquid...

GHOST, RIVER, SHIVER, MASTICATE, COLD, POMPOUS The cold wind swirled the mist all along the bank, The ferryman held onto the boat, whilst the gentleman walked across the narrow plank, The man looked quite pompous as he chewed upon his pipe, He was large and looked like a cow masticating on fresh grass, I hope the man doesn’t develop...

"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy." Rumi John 4: 20-14 Words from the list: heart, river, eclipse, shiver, cold, tender, lush Heavy-hearted searching for something, Seeking solace Slowly walking Down to the river Feeling cold, shivering Plodding through The lush, verdant Damp undergrowth Chilled to the bone Down at the river My spirit revived While absorbing The bubbling water...

The Letter to the Acolyte in Poetry Month
(A lone voice writes) Some whisper and will In secret occult circles About these sad days of 2025 That Humanity will fall into unruly petulant desire Consumed and devoured by a blazing war lit infectious fire But what happens to you and me? Your mind and mine Do you still shiver inwardly at the vibrational thoughts of my words Do...

Heart, shiver, tender, cold, gaze, river In that broad, old night, In the dark—the grip was tight, A coo, a warm breath—soothed my heart, Shivered, “son, you’re the knight,” Mom, an aperture to my view. The misty dawn, in the cold, My tender eyes gazed—afraid, The river of hope in the mist, faded, Luckily, the debt's dark cloud dispersed, The backer, an aperture...
