Mystery of the Bald Man
"It is a nuclear plant for god sake... Why would any one go in there so exposed? Scientists take time to dress on protective gear before going in." "Strangely, the bald man is only in the CCTV cameras. Nobody else seems to have seen him in the vicinity. The records of all guards have been … Continue reading Mystery of the Bald Man
Studio
"Check your records again, Officer! Who are the people who visited him?." "He was known to be a loner, hence the body was found after two days."

Kaleidoscope
I don’t know at what point I get sucked into the whirlpool of moving colours. It is labelled as a whim, schizophrenia, explosion of creativity - but I know that I’m at my best when I operate at multiple levels. I’m grateful to each colour for bringing out a facet of me. Colours then come … Continue reading Kaleidoscope
Un-expressions
alphabets on keyboards transform into faces asking for expression, gather on the face of a clock rotating…… It’s tough… catching them at right moments -my naps become gaps in storylines -like interrupted wi-fi -like stations where trains do not stop -like air I punch and it becomes a fistful of emptiness but of course…. there’s … Continue reading Un-expressions
Digitally yours
You are not allowed to send this. The deceased was Covid-infected.” “I’ve heard the virus does not survive beyond a certain temperature.” “Yet, I cannot expose the whole delivery network.” “Flights to India are not operational. This needs to mingle with the soil there.The funeral was Zoomcast, but how does this go?” “It has to … Continue reading Digitally yours
Somewhere in the middle
colorwash of optimism I give minds clarity highlighting the fact I’m yellow, not black contrasting hues of opinions -transparency to see beyond points of view -in a different light somewhere in the middle of spectrums I shine alone as others take their place to my left or right https://dversepoets.com/2021/02/16/poetics-true-colours/
No Man’s Land
No Man’s Land …..by tiredhamster
There was a time when time
Broke-down. You may not remember,
Happened the other day, but I was there.
Moments were frozen to themselves.
The sky stood above silence. The cars
Were sad, purposeless structures;
The people within had no clue
That time had a malfunction
And that they were no longer alive
Nor dead. But, things were fixed
And everything rushed along
Beyond knowledge as if the time
When time broke never occurred.
Not even the universe knew
As it continued to retread its grave.
Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge #172.
Flaunting time
Flaunting time …..by Aishwarya
As their mark on time on Earth,
The rocks flaunt their fossils,
The trees flaunt their rings,
Nature flaunts her seasons,
It’s time to ring another year in my calendar of life,
Old one waltz past,
I look around for flaunt- worthy trinkets marking my time on Earth,
Lo and behold! Silver tresses, replacing pale black ones,
Romancing with time is bittersweet.
