End
Might look loose
but it’s the end
Period.
Appreciate
appreciate, don’t suffocate
for love without complaints
has a palatable taste; no haste
impatience will leave stains
time’s teachings are no waste
Caterpillar
smoothly tearing the soft layer of balmy cocoon
the once crawling being now flies in fulgent hues
accepting the truth of its existence
stretching wings of self-love, persistent
the glamorous artistry of nature glides, confides
insouciantly fulfilling its wishes for what it has originated
News
Headlines cry to untune the averse state of our miserable humanity which has lost its stature
No comprehension of the hues of light or dark but the cruel selfishness speaks satirically throughout
Little Achievements
Joyful pouring of salt
Body halting at sweet shop
Celebrate the little achievements

Also, two of her poetries have found space in a recently published anthology, The Sound of Brilliance.
