award

This blog was nominated by poetryroad for the 'Blog of the Year 2012' Award at The Thought Palette.

Thank you, poetryroad. I am pleasantly surprised and honoured by the nomination.







I would like to nominate ashok at http://ashokism.blogspot.com/ for the 'Blog of the Year 2012' award too. He paints well, writes good poetry too, and his blog always has something interesting to tell about Indian culture.

Poets' Rally Week 53 Perfect Poet Award

Hey, it's really a pleasant surprise to be nominated for this Perfect Poet Award. Thank you, Ava, for this gem.








I am posting a poem from my NaPoWriMo exercise this year, in accepting the award. I hope you will enjoy it. :)




coffeeshop, one morning in march 2011


the cleaner
rubs my table
with a greasy rag.


i do not know
where to rest
my cup of tea.


he looks at me
and smiles.
i thank him.

Poets' Rally Week 48 Perfect Poet Award

I am so happy to be nominated for this Perfect Poet award. Though I am far from perfect, I will strive to be, so I will grab the award anyway. :)

Thanks, Promising Poets' Poetry Cafe, for all this support and encouragement, and thanks, Ravenblack, for nominating me. :)





And to go with the award, here's a haiku I wrote which is one of my personal favourites...



Rust


missing dad.

sandpapering rust
off his old tool box.

Poets Rally Week 44 Perfect Poet Award

Thanks, Jingle, for the award!

Before I discovered blogging, I was wondering where I can put my poems on-line. I thought of putting it in a personal website but it was too much work (those were the days of manual coding )Then I found Blogger, and as the old cliche goes...

I am posting this old poem for the award. I wrote this poem, expressing my desire to find a medium to show my works. Before I grow old. :)

BIGO


rust biting on hard joints
some say you don't look
a day over forty
lies are sweeter on the ears
damn, my left knee hurts again
i have, how many, five?
old notebooks of
       poems
in fading pencil
to etch to .htm format
       any luck ?
in how many, five, ten years ?
       online

time is short & the water rises.
