• NaPoWriMo Day 26 – Indian April

  

  Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that contains at least one of a different kind of simile – an epic simile. Also known as Homeric similes, these are basically extended similes that develop over multiple lines. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they have mainly been used in epic poems, typically as decorative elements that emphasize […]

• NaPoWriMo Day 2 – Summer is finally here

  

  Today’s prompt is to write a poem based on a word featured in a tweet from Haggard Hawks, an account devoted to obscure and interesting English words. The word I chose is ‘Flosculous’ – it means ‘In full bloom’ My poem for today, ‘Summer is finally here’ Gratitude sweeps over me, like the morning breeze that […]

• Mumbai Diaries: After Diwali, movies and more

  

  I just realised I haven’t written since November 4th and that, too, was barely a post- it was a promotional offer on my artwork, and before that I shared some quotes.
