Shadows
byGeeta Varma 5th February 2024
Shadows
On the walls
Lengthen, circle, bend…
As we move around.
Grandma’s tales are over.
A large hand approaches,
Picks up the lamp,
The ceiling brightens,
Then darkens
As the light moves
Into the darkness of the night.
More Poetry is Needed
Light & Shadow
By Neena Singh 7th February 2024
In the dance of Nature’s embrace,
Light and shadow hold their place
Golden rays paint a canvas so bright
Shadows whisper secrets to the night.
Sunset hues are a symphony of delight,
Ushering the dark is this fleeting sight.
The golden moon and branches play,
Casting shadows that in mystery sway.
Light reveals, shadows veil the unknown,
A delicate balance strikes the world’s zone.
In every contrast, our life’s story is spun,
Light and shadow stay forever as one.
Haiku
by Paul Callus 8th February 2024
penumbra –
the uncertainty
in their relationship
undulating
across the dunes
a seagull’s shadow
soliloquy –
another grateful visit
to his donor’s grave
Awaiting Rainbow
by Pravat Kumar Padhy 9th February 2024
Ripples of clouds
gather on the horizon
the early morning sun
about to shine
the waves of my dream
Gentle breeze
over the pristine river
a sudden storm
uproots the tree laden with hope
filling the void with shivers of cold
An art of love
of the bright sculpture
near the shore
as though the waves of passion
climb up only to break and return
Morning zephyr
across the tall grass field
whispers something
I could feel
in my loneliness the urge within
The touch
of springtide I miss
on my thirsty lips
the winter evening continues
to scrub the splintered memories
A crescent moon
at midnight edge …
I walk alone
rewinding the time
of my vanished dream
Still along
the weathered trail
solemnly I wish
the new sun hitherto to shine
for the lone tree to bloom again
