    Baby Swan | Poetry

    In a pond far away, where the lilies do play,Lived a baby swan, so fluffy and gay.With feathers so white, like a cloud in the sky,This little cygnet caught every eye. His beak was so tiny, his feet paddle-pat,As he followed his mama, just like that!Quacking with glee, in his own little way,He danced on…

    Alone | Poem

    The hollow drum of rain upon the pane,A ceaseless dirge upon a city’s soul,Mocks the scant warmth within this tired domain,Where shadows writhe and memories take their toll. The clock, a metronome of hollow ticks,Measures the vast expanse of empty days,Sunlight, a stranger, paints the dusty bricksIn pallid hues, then fades in twilight’s maze. Through…

  • Life of a Gamer | Poem

    In pixels and bytes, a world unfolds,Where the gamer’s tale is bravely told.With controller in hand, they navigate,Through realms of wonder, where dreams await. From dawn till dusk, they immerse in play,In virtual realms, they find their way.Their avatar dances, in quests untold,As the gamer’s spirit, fearless and bold. They conquer dungeons, they scale the…

  • River Tides | Poem

    The riverbank gleams, a red ochre scar,Where the bank meanders, a ribbon afar.The tide’s on the turn, a slow, creeping crawl,Dragging secrets and stories, both big and small. The catfish they lurk in the snags down below,While the bream chase the shrimp where the water does flow.A pelican dives with a comical plop,As a lone…

  • A Football Tragic | Poem

    In black depth, where darkness creeps,There lies a soul, where sorrow sleeps.A tragic figure, lost in the night,Haunted by memories, dimming his light. Through bleak and barren fields he roams,Where echoes of cheers have turned to moans.A specter of passion, once bright and bold,Now trapped in a tale, so grimly told. With every kick, a…

  • Two Swans | Poem

    Two Swans | Poem

    In a pond so serene, where the lilies dance green,Two swans waltzed in grace, a sight to be seen.With feathers so white, like the clouds in the sky,They glided together, oh my, oh my! Their necks curved in arcs, like a perfect bow,As they swam hand in hand, or rather, wing in wing, you know.With…

  • Rising Phoenix | Poetry

    Oh Phoenix, wings of flame,Kissed by fire, you ain’t the same.Cradled once in verdant nest,Now a pyre, a fiery test. Don’t you cry, don’t you shed a tear,In that inferno, strength appears.Ashes whisper, embers glow,Seeds of change begin to sow. From the dust, a tremor starts,A beating heart in broken parts.Muscles tense, a mighty push,From…
