Resentment
Imperfectly Perfect
She wondered why certain things never change. The imperfect stone walls, the uneven pavement and the unstable manhole covers in the town were all the same, as she had left it ten years ago. She enjoyed walking on the pavement, and idly thought that her shoes and sunglasses were more expensive, than what she used … Continue reading Imperfectly Perfect
In Retrospect
I was trained to tally signatures in my bank job. The best method was to look at the signature upside down. The slants and curves revealed themselves much better.

Green
The rich man had spent a large part of his childhood in this park. He helped his father in selling candy, and gazed wistfully at the kids from more prosperous backgrounds having fun, and being pampered by their parents. He could have summarized his childhood in these green structures – of being green with envy. … Continue reading Green
Indifference
Why stoke once again the dying embers of love? Flames of apathy refuse to die down Indifference is power now. Inspired by Ronovan at Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry #Prompt #Challenge #155 Image: tumblr.com
