Poetry, in few words, is just a nut
And we, the writers, are of course the nutters
Who grab the words there are inside it, but
Sometimes what we write down is what we utter
In crying out the meaning of our mind;
Not necessarily words, but rhythm and tone
In endless streams of dots, sometimes a blind
Restitching of a hem, fixing the unsewn.
The hard shell of the nut is dark husk, stripped,
Because the kernel to be found inside
Is tender, juicy: most the times it’s bitter
Since what we write is what we’d better hide.
Smashing the wood with our bare hands – the shards will cut our skin –
We gently probe inside the shell for what we’ll find within.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Out of the egg, our flesh is paper-thin.
If punctured, the red covers up the pink
In blotches turning brown. Our supple skin
Outlines our bodies. Cell by cell, a link
Of DNA speaks to the system. Clear
Its voice is telling us “Now eat, now sleep,
You’re tired, so just close your eyes, my dear.
Laugh at this time, and now you have to weep”.
We’re always dying. Our fate is written through
Our veins, our nails, the eyes, the hair, the teeth,
And if we waste our time, it’s overdue
- Our life, the span of it, its golden heath -.
And in the realm of which we’re king - a throne of blood and gilt -
Cells links to cells to form a bridge collapsing while it’s built.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Holt Farm Junior School Author Visit Jack Trelawny.
Location SS4 1RS (UK).
On 1st March 2013, I visited Holt Farm Junior School, in Rochford, Essex. It was great fun presenting the 'Edutainment' slideshow and talking to the children about my books and answering questions about reading and writing before signing all the books at the very end.

Creative Writing Undergrad Student Jonah Mixon-Webster reads from issue 9.1 of the BathHouse Hypermedia Journal at the EMU Creative Writing Graduate Showcase.
Each summer you were bound for the zenith
Each time I asked you, my rosy cheeks
made a mockery of the Marlboro man
Pain is an army of clouds
concealing northern blue saturation
If I turn on the light, I see you
dreaming out loud
How are we supposed to fill the sky together
if I drown every time you bat your eyes?
Somebody once wrote on a wall:
“I am not an easel”
Apply your rainbow paint and I shall
retreat into pure scarlet
Who will hazard a glance
once the evening dulls
the sparkle of the canvas fibers?
How I wish you would take me
along for the ride
Let me take you
My radiant zeppelin
You are glowing in the sky
breaking the color spectrum
Sense is my lifeline
with shivering hands
I grasp for it in vain
Will you show me the way?
I want to remain in your light
but my desire casts a shadow
onto the foothills of Mount Soul
It’s quite a hike getting up there
I can feel the winds up high down below
as I follow the breadcrumbs
strewn along the sole road
Birds smear the azure up above
their flight makes me dizzy
Who will take my hand
so that I can stave off
yet another fall?
Forgive me, my thoughts are sticky
but please don’t wipe them down
they’re the goo holding me together

I feel I dropped my glasses made of sand,
For the first time - for me - I made it out:
The feeling is to have the world in hand.
I see so clearly I am blind, without.
Last night, while driving, it was raining hard
I saw the flat drops hitting on the pane
Of my windshield: their noise put me off guard.
So was the water tapping on the lane.
Discovering is not the word for me:
I never saw and felt these things before.
Everything’s new and strange, at a degree
Of weirdness, that I would not ignore.
In this new world of sightless, I have gained the sight
And black is bright and painted, while white has no real light.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
