24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Aishwarya is a budding poet from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India. She is a living paradox with oxymoronic feelings. Most of her days are spent contemplating her thoughts, later drafting it down. She feels alliteration is her better half and you would find her pressed, lost in pages, words of found poetry and novels everyday.

Twinning on a Thursday evening
with my friend Nine,
a green, shabby yet shy one,
but doesn’t hesitate to join.
We went to barber shop,
on the way we found,
he bought me a pistachio ice cream,
I gave him my calm.
An eyeshadow palette
filled with sand
consisting particles
of broken bottles
of broken shells
carrying letters
found at the seashore,
read them only to escape boredom
On a night full of stars,
I drink wine stirred by the flowers.
I raise my glass offering a glass to moon,
and noticed my shadow holding the same.
The gentle sensationn of seclusion
down the throat,
softening the syllables of every word uttered.
Seeking the slices of the moon,
on a table covered with upholstery planets
midnight
purple aurora rushing through my skin
glucose drip

40 years later
we met again
wearing uniform
monochrome tuxedo
some were crying
some were playing dead
pure dew
as mothers
perceive
the little one’s
toothless mouth
when widens with tinted cheeks.
Type: A cherita poem
We were on the way to Osteroderm,
a new amusement park in the town of Swamp.
I wore a green dress,
to feel like a forest princess.
When we reached the location,
I see nothing but a huge alligator nation.
Definitely it was “amusing”,
moreover frightening.
The spikey land had a sign board highlighting
“Croc and Alli, aren’t the same valley”
The swings were both land and aqua based.
Essentially, the little green dress seemed as if I own the park.
I wondered if the park had any potions,
that I can consume to be huge.
Not for the uniqueness,
I seek out of this miniature world,
but to pet these slides,
of an alligator and crocodile.
Their green brown shade reminds me of the other world filled with colours and people who are sceptical about colours..
