I ask you once again: please let me fall,

The season is not right to change my mind

You have to wait. Someone will make the call.

 

Writing or drawing, it all seems a scrawl

Reading a book sometimes makes me feel blind

I ask you once again: please let me fall,

 

I stand upright only because a wall

Is at my back. I am here to remind

You have to wait. Someone will make the call.

 

Falling is easier for a reckless soul.

That’s what I understand and what I find;

I ask you once again: please let me fall.

 

The world is now so large it has me in thrall

Of powerful emotions - at times unkind -

You have to wait. Someone will make the call.

 

I sing against the wind, I catch the ball,

I play with my dolls, keeping them aligned.

You have to wait. Someone will make the call.

I ask you once again: please let me fall.

 

(Villanelle by SiRiChandra)

Fourth Grade publishing party – each of the kids wrote a work of fiction.

Your scaled beauty was my only fault

And when I saw you I could only think

Of holding you, scraping off the salt

From your lean body, restoring the pink.

 

And as I tried to reach you, with a stroke

You swam away, but you were well assured

That I was after you. You would provoke

My fierce reaction, and my lust endured.

 

I reached you in the fountain, near the sea.

I tried to grab you, but you turned to vapour,

And I decided - in my fantasy -

To turn to water to became the raper.

 

Arethusa, my lover, is this my hand or yours?

Liquid we are in water, stretching to reach the shores.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

I discovered that a guy called Percy B. Shelley wrote something about Alpheus and Arethusa too! Check it out

A gift for the artist/writer in your family. These are little journals with a prompt on each page, suitable for creative writing or sketching.

Plenty of options available: original print on hard covers (raw board with fabric spine and fabric corner protection, ) - these are good for those who want to sketch or write on the go; bright coloured soft covers available with original print, digitally remastered print in medium or small.

I lack the time to list them in my shop right now, but you are welcome to contact me directly if you are interested. -- Hope you'll like them. And the prompts of course.

live performance poetry given by Birkbeck postgraduate students and staff

An object. Light skin

Wearing the August sun as

A silver garland.

 

(Haiku by SiRiChandra)

 

A reading by students of creative writing at Barnard College

And when I wanted more, you flew away.

Now, if I want to talk, I find a wall

Concrete around me, knowing that today

Will bring me worries and thoughts I won’t recall.

 

If I just want to speak, I cannot start

A proper conversation. And I just wait

For you to talk. But we are so apart

That waiting is a spice I taste, like hate.

 

Recalling the blithe moments of light laughter

I walk the same old tracks we walked back then.

Sometimes I feel the same, but it’s an after

Thought, because I am entangled once again.

 

“Ev’rything seems to bring…”, too well I knew the lines

My eyes are aged and tired, the mirror sees the signs.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Out of Silence: Readings from the Afghan Women's Writing Project

By Ryan Johnston-

 

Well you got away from here

From where the sun rises the same

Just like it did, last year

Well, you got away from me

And all the evil things

That I know, I just had to be

 

Standing in the hallway

Watch you get ready for the day

I don’t know where I’ve been

But I know, that I’m ready for you

 

Mortuary parking lots, and purple backdrops

Empty notebook page, Like a plain white gauze

My heart inside my hand, this pen is a just an I.V.

That someone pulled out

 

You say you understand me, more than I think

That one day I’ll know, that this just had to be

You say you love me, but you just have to leave

And you know someday, I’ll do great things

 

When you float around my eyes

The perfect mixture of vapour and air

And I’m burning alive, inside

I know, that I’m already there

Yeah, I’m already there

 

You say you understand me, more than I think

And know one knows you, better than me

You say you love me, but you just need something new

And you know one day. I’ll find someone much better than you

 

Standing in the empty hallway

Those times are still there, somewhere

The vapour burned itself into thin air

And you start your day, someplace else

Empty journals fill,

When the memories you kill, bleed out

A crime scene, nobody ever found

We turn ourselves in, with the words we let out

Or hide behind the meaning, to cover up our tracks

Either way, the feeling,

It just stains

Meredith Oberg, Nadia Pereira & Whitney Walker.

Jaynee Bowker reads during the Uncanny Senior Symposium for Literature Majors was held in the Old Main Lincoln Room on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020.

Since they needed the light, they chased whales.

They went whale hunting when the world was new

Fighting against the sun, riding the gales,

 

Leaving the docks with poorly woven sails.

So many were the seaways they went through:

Since they needed the light, they chased whales.

 

They ran after the giant fishes’ tails

And many men were lost among the crew

Fighting against the sun, riding the gales.

 

They wrote the stories and we red the tales

Of sailors maimed and drowned in the slough:

Since they needed the light, they chased whales.

 

In ancient times a leviathan so pale

Became a legend, and his name we knew.

Since they needed the light, they chased whales

Fighting against the sun, riding the gales.

 

(Villanelle by SiRiChandra)

 

My everyday necklace with a whale tail.

The other one is a turquoise stone.
