Micropoems by Rachana Sood

Cresent

if you can't be 

a full moon,

be Cresent

incomplete yet beautiful.

□

Bonsai

They pruned her branches

and made her feel small

now no bird could 

ever make a nest

sing a song of love or stall

she knows -

she is just for decoration,

whenever she will 

try to grow 

they will cut her again.

□

Cactus

To protect her inner peace 

she grew thorns 

on her outer surface,

people call her cactus

but only she knew the pain 

of being untouchable 

and unaproachable,

still people cut her 

but she grow again. 

a strength you rarely heard of.

□

Sesquipedalian Poet

Sesquipedalian poet

Weaving Gossamer of words.

Convulated to abecedarian,

Like a conundrum.

Learning this art may 

seem strenuous,

but your verses will be sumptuous.
