    Poetry Corner: December

    my pockets are full of candy wrappers.  to write is to feel. i unwrap the strawberry candy of my words and let it slowly melt on my tongue, the plastic wrapper crinkles in my fist. i cannot steal butterflies, so i grow them, nourish them and feed them with my words, so that they will…

    Annotating books: what, why and how

    You’re probably asking “Anjali, why the hell would you annotate fiction books like you’re reading for an exam?”. It’s because I’m insane, that’s why. Also, I hyper fixate on every book I read. But seriously, if you love books just as much as me, then annotating is a fun activity you can incorporate into your…

    Poetry Corner

    [resemantization]     A sound  and its own halo  above me  constructing new horizons  of views unseen  Yet I remain myself  Behind the grazing fields of sound  A new world  of poetics        [poetic license]     Poems like to talk about themselves  And hide behind metaphors  But I am not like that  I recoil when…

    Poem: Polarization

    Polarizare  de Paul-Daniel Golban    necunoscutul împarte întotdeauna   lumina în direcții opuse   un funigel te îmbrățișează de mâini –  vara cea dogoritoare a trecut   iar soarele tot mai negru lasă treptat loc toamnei cumpătate    un ochi zâmbește zăpezii –  (iarna lumina surâde pe un fulg de nea)   celălalt plânge   după dispariția păsărilor care despart…

    Poem: In the Depths of an Ocean

    In the depths of an ocean  time moves in slow motion.  The water gets colder,  but my soul smolders.  While the light becomes blind,  I lose my peace of mind.  I dive to find out the unknown  which illuminates the darkness like a precious stone.  The water trembles with me,  I’m getting closer to another…
