This week’s poems:
Thursday Rally for Poets (which will be held once in every three weeks) @ http://thursdaypoetsrallypoetry.wordpress.com/
forest
tall, straight Sal trees
reach upwards to touch sky
their heads huddled together
their roots covered in leaves.
Even the most cautious feet
Can’t avoid the sound
It sounds so loud, rude
In that dreamy silence!

For Poetry Potluck @ http://jinglepoetry.blogspot.com the theme this week is “Fortresses, Castles, Palaces and Royal houses”
Long forgotten love story
A portrait of melancholy
Sandstone fortress on hill
Crumbling structure
Studded all over the small hill
Like long forgotten love story

spontaneity
crickets chirp, birds sing,

spontaneity.

The story is here:
http://magicthought.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/the-secluded-heaven/
The poem:
Old books
Racks full of them,
Some with new covers,
Some old, rough, shedding
I used to run my palm
On their coarse, smooth body.
Dreaming before opening
Where will they take me….
In a land of dreams
Or a land of real dreams
May be somewhere just close!
Picking at least four together,
Then some packs of snacks
Finally the escape to roof
With my walkman and a mat
Hours of dreamy solitude!
Reading, dreaming mulling,
With sweet interludes
Of watching clouds, birds
Listening to a song
Then coming downstairs-satiated!
Whole-hearted thanks to Golden hair bear (http://verseinanutshell.wordpress.com) for the idea, I was fumbling a bit what I will write about, his today’s poem gave me the clear idea. Thanks Friend!
I was amused to note how our habits matched, I too used to escape to a solitary, hidden place where no one will disturb me when I am reading.
My favourite spot was a cornice, completely covered by the branches of a huge, old neem tree, so that no one will discover me, even if someone came to the roof. Only tension was being locked in the roof then I was expert in crawling down using weirdest paths if essential.
I enjoyed all of these — but in paticular — balm — love it!
love is the most beautiful thing in this world.
Enjoyed each of your compositions…though my favorite was “Long forgotten love story”.
that was straight from heart, whenever i see these ruins my mind aches to see those days when they were homes.
Simply beautiful….
thanks a million times. you changed your prof pic, this one is also beautiful. i adored your previous one.
Simply fantastic. I enjoyed it very much. My potluck: http://verseinanutshell.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/protect/
i read it, its awesome only the ending …. well the real twist lies there!!
I like the idea of the fortress as a lost love story – that’s cute!

it looks like that to me. when i am in a dreamy mood.
These are all lovely. I was especially drawn in by the picture you painted of the trees. I felt surrounded by the silence and beauty of a forest.
glad that you liked that, i love woods, cluster of trees.
Love each one of them! Always a love reading your work. Sorry I was MIA for a few days, out of town for a graduation. Glad to be back!
i have been regularly checking your blog. all the best for exam!
I liked all of these too, Trisha. It’s so true that as much as might try, it’s difficult to walk quietly on fallen leaves under a tree. Your long forgotten love story brings up memories for what once was.
if the leaves are dry then impossible, if they are wet then tough 🙂
Trisha – you never cease to amaze me. I’ll be getting involved in some of these challenges myself soon too, although not sure I can be as organised as you 😀 xx
it will be fun to have you in these, i have made so many friends by participating in these. 🙂
Commenting on Balm, it was fabulous!
thanks a lot henry.
lovely haiku and I love old books so it recalled many happy memories for me. I could spend hours in a dusty old library curled up in an over-sized chair or out with a book in the sun
thats the only joy i have been deprived of, i have never been member to any library but school/college. there are so many regulations here…..
the huge number of books at home almost fully compensated for that.
The fortress on a hill tickled my imagination. Lovely 🙂
they look so sad and beautiful, dont they?
Trisha, I love your response to the prompt. Books fill my senses with so many good things. This is perfect for textures!
glad that you finally located it. 🙂
Old books have a dear place in my heart too. I loved this Trisha. And I loved hearing about your hiding place to read without being disturbed.
the last time i saw those two racks they had books more than hundred years old in them. 🙂
i too love, love them.
Books more than a hundred years old–how special. I would find old books in my grandmother’s house–I have no idea how old they were–but they were a treasure.
quite a handful of them were my grandfather’s collection, weekly/monthly magazines, books.
Now, I wish that I had saved some of those old books in her house.
it would have been a great thing. without doubt.
These are all so lovely, Trisha! The first one paints a peaceful forest picture that I love (and you should paint). The cricket haiku is great– I love the jump of the words that fit the idea so well. And the reading one took me back to my childhood Saturdays, though mine were in the attic behind an old trunk, or sometimes in the big tree in my backyard. Nice work, my friend!
i think all bookworms love to hide with their books 🙂
Love the word “miffed” 🙂 Fun one! I’ll fix the linky to add you – must have been having problems with Mr. Linky that day. Thanks for letting me know!
You have a really beautiful blog. And your words? Lovely.
Hm … when I attempt to leave a comment I am told that it is a duplicate? Your blog is lovely. I have enjoyed your poetry … let’s see if this posts.
thoughtful and incredible entries…
your stories are either classical or magical.
keep it up.
🙂
