Love Poem: Pallavi Verma

She calls me every night
She calls me every night
just to know if I am fine I miss her call sometimes

I ask her about her day
But all she wants to know
is if I was wearing the same
old jeans today.
She asks me about my day
But all I want to know is
if she is regular with
her morning walk.
'No more chopping off hair’, she says.
'Only if you don’t shy from wearing jeans'
I get new haircuts every month.

'Don't eat sugar anymore', I say.
'When are you coming home'
I book my bus tickets every month
She calls me every night.

    "Do not eat sugar anymore"; I was able to directly connect this line to the poem (limerick form) "Oh I wish I'd looked after my teeth" which was part of my English textbook in school.

Love Poem: Rubina

Over-wait  by Rubina  How long must you wait, To finally lose enough weight? To have hair that's smooth and straight, But still be hairless bait?  Do you remember all the jalebi you ate? Was it really worth the jiggly gait? And those glasses aren't exactly ornate, Although they do hide those sideburns, at any rate.  You've been on a diet since you were eight. Getting monthly waxes since 2008. Always trying to find the perfect breastplate, To enhance, modify, and accentuate.  Letting too many around you berate, What you and your body create. How long must you wait, To finally lose the hate? To not let the social dictate, Your worth and your fate?

Moonlit Roundabout:Response Poem 2

Narrow was the lane, But so broad the intent. Bought were the things too small, But long was the journey it went. Starry was the surrounding, Glamorous the walls, Sumptuous the history Eerie lifelines so said them all. Meatloaf jumping in the air, Fruits glittering the moonlight, Prayers riding from pointing buildings, Blessed the kid with a visage so bright. Clumsy households, So thin the closing doors, They broke from the surrounding world, Even ruling statues, couldn't bring them close.
