To get things started, here is a poem by Emily Dickenson<\/em> <\/strong>for you:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m Nobody! Who are you?<\/span><\/h1>\n

I\u2019m Nobody! Who are you?
\nAre you \u2013 Nobody \u2013 too?<\/span>
\nThen there\u2019s a pair of us!<\/span>
\nDon’t tell! they’d advertise \u2013 you know!<\/span><\/p>\n

How dreary \u2013 to be \u2013 Somebody!
\nHow public \u2013 like a Frog \u2013<\/span>
\nTo tell one\u2019s name \u2013 the livelong June \u2013<\/span>
\nTo an admiring Bog!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello! I’m Nobody! But, if you had to call me, call me Namratha.<\/p>\n

I am from India, and I love poetry. As with most poets, I have spells when the words flow, punctuated by verse-drought. I haven’t been able to sit myself at a desk this past month, and have been scribbling poems on scraps of paper or more often, in whatsapp messages to myself!<\/p>\n

I have signed up for the full marathon, hoping to sit and write the distance! I am excited and doubtful, to say the least! I will be publishing all my posts as private, but I believe it will be accessible to all of you who are a part of the marathon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyways, I am giving it a shot \ud83d\ude42 Good luck y’all! Pop into my comments to say Hello or introduce yourself. Looking forward to writing and reading with you.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
