Finally a real poem (the title is justified you'll know after you read....so BETTER READ)

I want to write I want to write
But this darned work sched is tight

So much to say and so many talks
Day light blues and moon light walks

But hey hey hey, please don't go away
I beg you to read, I beg you to stay

If you comment that would be great too
After all my readers are but a few

I promise to try and write up something new
Not only crib, bawl, and make you blue

Now thats been a real hard attempt to rhyme
I know it sounds shitty, but do I care a dime ;-)

PS: While I gave myself all the airs , (of course for no logical reason or credits), to be a serious poet, who deeply touched the chord of the few readers who read my posts more out of OK lets return the favor factor, one 'cool dude' or so he thinks himself to be, very intelligently (again he thinks so) pointed out, "Monica you write and all that OK, some of it does make sense too granted, but then these are not poems yaar. You seem to be mistaken somewhere, you see poems HAVE TO rhyme.".......So here is to my very intellectual friend (he does not follow sarcasm so I can call him a friend...he he wicked smile - is there an emoticon for this?????)......a real sincere attempt at bad rhyme. All nasty comments are welcome, though am sure to get one that says finally you understood what is poetry....fancy doing MA Lit and not knowing that. Dumb dumb Monica!

  1. Glad you're having fun with poetry for a change. But yes, Please don't listen to your friend. Though I love stuff that rhymes, I know that a thought can get totally butchered if you're trying to bend it to rhyme with the previous sentence.

    Keep writing!

  2. Fun you call it....frustration is the word at having to listen to all 'intellectuals' this circus is packed with :-(

    Thanks for reading and commenting.

  3. haha...this is great. A poem fit for the circus freaks : )

    I think you should send it to sugar daddy for circulation

  5. in 2007 you wrote 15 posts, only 7 in the whole of 2008, and around 30 in 2009 already. of which 22 in just june and july 2009

    Do you write more when you are upset? and don't write / don't feel writing at all when you are fine, settled, comparatively happy?

    no that's no rocket science, just a trend your posts show

    Do you have a problem being happy and settled?

    you sure don't like the jerky bumpy ride that you make your life to be


    no insights, just your posts

    why do you always end up making it that way?

    go girl sort some things out for yourself

    get a life. be happy

  6. Wow Mr/Ms Anonymous you seem to be quite analytical and seem to also have taken the pains to judge my life based on number of posts I write....don't you think thats too quick a concclusion to arrive at....considering you did not mention your identity, I am curious to ask how do you know what my life has been over thee past 3 years? Just the number and content of posts is sufficient verification? Heard of anything called fiction?
    Nevertheless, thanks for reading and taking the effort to air your views, though I would be happier if you were also bold enough to reveal your identity.

  7. u are assuming

    there are no judgments on anyone's life in the previous comment, and there are no assumptions


    its just a comment on the posts here

    and some questions that naturally follow

    questions that do not seek answers

    questions in their own right

    pls accept my apologies, if that sounded like a judgment

    its just a commentary, an unsolicited one, but certainly not ill intentioned

  8. OK let me not explain or give answers, since yoiu ain't expecting any.....felt the tone was judgemental and said so, though never doubted the intentions :-)

    Once again thanks for reading and commmeting,sans the judgements if you so insist!

  9. interesting debate - its healthy for the blog. pats on the back/cuffs on the head, whatever it is, i guess the writer has more satisfaction out of an analytical audience than a passive one with embellishments like 'ya ya nice poem' or important questions like 'u said u sniffled - was it becoz u caught a cold or becoz u cried?'
    things look more alive now.

  11. Oh but analytics here means a culture shock. The verbally explicit (analytical) meets the high context (writer).

    ReplyDelete
  12. @Anonymous - my moderate grey cells fail to understand what you are trying to say.

  13. the analytical is verbally explicit and writing is high context. even when writing is explicit, it is still high context. analytical leaves nothing on context, it explores and illustrates and contrasts and exposes what it draws as insights. the two cultures are different and there would be a culture shock when one meets the other.

    Analytics here means a culture shock.

  14. When things weren't alright,
    and there was loneliness,
    the dark depths of the night,
    and the tears in your eyes.

    Surely, you tried before you cried.

    When your heart was hunting,
    for the method in the madness,
    and who vowed to be a knight first thing,
    Left you with only less.

    Certainly, you tried before you cried.

    The world is not ending
    There's still hope & happiness
    Stop pretending, scale these simple tests
    Just soar, high... and spread your wings.
    Your tears are precious, not some silly mess.

    Tell me, you'll try before you cry.
    Promise me, you'll try and never cry.
