Rajlakshmi B Poem
Her chapped palms smell of
-ungrateful jasmine-
roughened by shrewd plays of world.
And in the creases of
- youthful forehead-
sleeps an orphaned childhood, old.
Among distasteful leering,
ineffectual rags of
-modesty cries-
unfortunate beauty trapped among
-lechers-
pawn broker and hawker alike.
-Nobody’s Child -
gazes high UP , at the

elegant unreachable stairs
winding beyond clouds yonder.
S L O W L Y sighing,
At the dreams hidden, on the dark side of
half bitten moon.

Rajlakshmi B Poem
...
Its
voice,
a rhyme,a
charm,
echo
o f
time
forever
gone , piercing into
bulky stillness of night, crowned
by the solitude of silence, silhouettes
and shadows ,dancing under an umbel of
darkness, ever so present. slowly it
swims, on a crystal lake, gentle breeze
ruffles its silky silver feathers,
---- a soothing touch of relief, a refreshing smile---------------
The mirror couldn’t hide, its bleeding
grief, an ending saga of ridicule, but
it reflected a courage to survive,
that even grey shades couldn’t conquer.
It was not just a reflection ,but an
image of its reality,
veiled
under
a soul
hurt
but
pure.Will
she swim
out.

Rajlakshmi B Poem
Radiating through violet shadows
resplendent rays of moonlit charm
Smiles of a summer night.
Velvet moss on pavement grey
elegant shimmer of crystal stream,
Radiating through violet shadows,
Maple adorning colors of Fall,
bedecking a world, still and calm,
resplendent rays of moonlit charm.
Butterflies engaged in spirited plays
Gently rings the memory bell, like
Smiles of a summer night.
Poetry Form - Cascade
** Cascade, a form created by Udit Bhatia, is all about receptiveness, but in a
smooth cascading way like a waterfall. The poem does not have any rhyme scheme;
therefore, the layout is simple. Say the first verse has three lines. Line one of verse
one becomes the last line of verse two. To follow in suit, the second line of verse
one becomes the last line of verse three. The third line of verse one now becomes
the last line of verse four, the last stanza of the poem. See the structure example
below:
a/b/c, d/e/A, f/g/B, h/i/C
To make the Cascade an even longer poem, use more lines in verse one. For
example, if verse one has 6
lines, the poem must have seven stanzas so that each line of verse one is reused as
a refrain in each following stanza (a cascading effect).
(Since there's no option for Cascade in the Form drop drown I chose Free Verse)

Rajlakshmi B Poem
..
Gliding down
the rainbow, into an
ocean of love, sprinkling vibrant hues
of smiles... immersed in blends of joyful red and
orange wrapped by a lively Indigo embossed
in whispering moments, to be cherished for
for a lifetime.... mirroring each
essence of genuine emotions, bubbling
with unfaltering hope, waiting for
amber rays to stir blue and
violet clouds, erasing very hint
of grey and, an exquisite
spectacle of timeless rhapsody
What
shall I
gift thee, O
tell me please
shall I borrow
the palette
o..f ....
seven
colors, and paint a
paradise for you, bring
down the sky and embroider it
with.. twinkling dreams. How
shall I capture the glow that
your smile reflects back on my face?
Let me know how to wrap in colour. .
papers the lovely evenings . .
under silky moonlights . .
.. and frame . . ..
.... the unspoken words that beat in your heart........

Rajlakshmi B Poem
Crying in solitude
Dying helpless timber
Glinting blades, iron teeth
Devoured green covers
Barren land - sandy sheet
Crying in solitude
Homeless feathery lives
Angry gunshots follow
Tired wings finds no lair
Uncertain tomorrow
Crying in solitude
Bleeding victimized calf
Atlatl aim another food
Diminishing species
Screams snatched motherhood
Crying in solitude
Crushed delicate blossoms
Concrete monsters strangle
Anguished mother nature
Fading every angle.

Soft
lights blink
underneath
shaded starry
sky
swift
glowing
firefly
quietly passes
by
Birds
chirps sweet
lullaby,
sway to world of
dreams.

Rajlakshmi B Poem
Dying Nation
Anguished, frustrated
Cowering Inside,
Trapped in cobweb
Nation's life.
Disentangle, escape
Tightening grip,
Handcuffed by
Society's whip.
Hypocrats, Scandals
Stymieing progress,
Repressed opinion
Honesty undressed.
Bomb-Blast, massacres
Breaking events,
Delighted vultures
Hunger content.

Rajlakshmi B Poem
Hollow faith caress bruised esteem
scars hidden underneath the seam
night reverberate silent screams
aborted dreams,aborted dreams
fractured by lustful invasion
modesty lies among treason
Why victims are pinned as reason?
unfold questions, unfold questions.
drenched in shame, locked in guilty vault
she gulps down his ruthless assault
striving for answers, 'What's my fault?'
When life will halt, when life will halt?
Poetry Type - Monotetra
The monotetra is a new poetic form developed by Michael Walker. Each stanza contains four
lines in monorhyme. Each line is in tetrameter (four metrical feet) for a total of eight
syllables. What makes the monotetra so powerful as a poetic form, is that the last line
contains two metrical feet, repeated. It can have as few as one or two stanzas, or as many
as desired.

Rajlakshmi B Poem
Yawing sunshine
Crowns horizon,
Bees humming
Delicate blossoms,
Floating billows
Orange hue,
Swaying groves
Sprinkling dew,
Vibrant butterflies
fluttering by,
Chirping birds
Soaring high,
Azure crystals
Shimmering display,
Beautiful morn
Promising day.
