I am thinking to write the bad poetries

I am thinking to write the bad poetries
But I am not knowing because
I am thinking all of my poetries
Are good poetries only.
I am good in English, no
With 85% marks in Board examinations
And getting full marks in oral spelling.
And I am having the good imagination also
As many good friends are saying.
So why I to be writing the bad poetries?
Whatever I am writing is so good, no?
Or atleast that is what good friends
Are all very sincerely saying.
But am I to be trusting my good friends
Who did not getted 85% in English
In Board examinations like I getted?
Not that I am doubting the sincerity
Of my good friends - that is surely sin -
But they are not of same calibre
as I am being, no?
So I think I am not writing the bad poetries
But writing the good poetries only.

She's complicated

She's complicated. She'll charm you with charts, statistics and that corporate smile. But look into those eyes, they're fiercely bohemian. She's complicated. Her chatterings seem to resonate with happy sounds, but listen with the other ear, to an unhidden lament. She's complicated. Her silences agonise, her voice echoes in her absence. And yet there is a mild dread as her name flashes on the ringing phone. She's complicated. Sometimes she's a poetess, shallow, romantic, trying to hide a sardonic, world-weary wit. She's complicated. She could be a spiteful Fury, wrath unabated, but that's just to hide the lamb-hugging girl within. She's complicated. She's an enchantress, a fool, a tyrant, a nurse, an imp, a priestess, but she's generally a good friend. She's complicated. Published in Making Waves - A Poetry Anthology , ed. Pam & Bill Swyers; Swyers Publishing 2011. ISBN: 978-0-9843113-6-1.

Rat

I'm a rat, I'm a rat, I scurry and I bite, I eat what I get, And I fuck and I fight, I dodge the black crows, I run from your shoes, But I'm old or sick, you'll trample over me.

Fit

 What we are is a jigsaw pieces that come together searching for edges that match some we know will never sit: a sideways glance, a crush, a lifelong regret; some we think will last, but no we stick around a while and then we know we are meant for other things, other people, other places but mostly just being othered some of us are corner pieces who know where we are and who will come to find us eventually I can only wish I was that and some of us are that piece that doesn't fit neither color nor shape nor corner we force it sometimes, set it aside for some later unfulfillable hope until it is too late to realise we were left over from another puzzle, with only the longing to fit, to belong, to be included
