Sometimes it becomes a little too much
The chaos and clutter of life
And when reality come knocking on the door
I close my eyes and say
Not today.

Gray [Micropoetry]
If everything was white and black
It would be easy to draw a line
Right down the middle
But we all live in a world of gray
Some lighter than the others
Gray all the same
Engraved On My Heart
I wrote your name on the sand
The wave washed it away
I wrote your name on a paper
The wind blew it away
But no force of nature can erase
The engraving on my heart
Rebirth – Micropoetry
You burnt me down
With all you had
But like a phoenix
I rose from the ashes
Reborn
Collision
You were the shining sun
And I, the gloomy rain
Somewhere, when we collided
We painted the sky
In a rainbow of love
NaPoWriMo Day 25: Chasing Butterflies
Prompt: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that begins with a line from a another poem (not necessarily the first one), but then goes elsewhere with it. This will work best if you just start with a line of poetry you remember, but without looking up the whole original poem. (Or, find a poem that you haven’t read before and then use a line that interests you).
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze,
Enticingly, glittering in the sun,
Flapping their vivid, beautiful wings,
Creating a world, colorful and bright.
All my sorrow fades away,
As I run around, chasing butterflies.
Strange, how my joy comes,
From what I inadvertently destroy.
Maybe, just maybe,
It’s not a bad world, after all.
I took the first line of my poem from ‘Daffodils‘ by William Wordsworth.
NaPoWriMo Day 20: Kennings on my dog
Prompt: Today’s prompt encourages us to write a kennings poem. A Kenning is a two word phrase describing an object often using a metaphor. A Kennings poem is a riddle made up of several lines of kennings to describe something or someone. For example, you might call a cat a mouse-stalker, quiet-walker, bird-warner, purr-former, etc.

I will also attach a photo for your reference because how can I not take this opportunity to show everyone what a handsome young boy he is? 😀
NaPoWriMo Day 14: Destruction
I’ve been participating in the Global/National Poetry Writing Month (GloPoWriMo/NaPoWriMo) in which I have to write one poem everyday for the month of April. I haven’t added all my poems on the blog, only the slightly decent ones. My other poems can be found on Instagram and Twitter.
Today’s prompt is for us to write a seven-line poem called a san san, which means “three three” in Chinese. The san san repeats, three times, each of three terms or images. The seven lines rhyme in the pattern a-b-c-a-b-d-c-d.
Ashes and smoke devour the world
As the ground turns a crimson red
Underneath the piles
Of bodies that lay curled
On their death bed
As the world does break
Through massacres and wiles
No tears shed at its wake
NaPoWriMo Day 9
Today’s micropoem is my tribute to The Jungle Book. I had a blast, watching the movie.
The panther, the man, the bear
On a single branch
Without a care
This micropoem was inspired from the final scene of the movie, of which I unfortunately could not find any images.
NaPoWriMo Day 8: Sunset
Amidst a hue of red
The sun slithered into
A blanket of clouds
