Foreword THIS POETRY BOOK IS ALL FROM MY LIFE .............

Preface POETRY IS THE BEST WORDS IN BEST ORDER S.T.COLERIDGE This book is my maiden attempt to explore the experience of my life through poetry . Poetry has been an integral part of my life since class 11 . My poetry writing first began with a lot of frustration , which I rated as worthless on the first go , but later I realised my frustration was the main catalyst for my outburst of poems. After class 12 taking English literature as my bachelor degree made me realise the true sense and motives of poetry in an organised manner . Although poetry is an organised study with various genres , techniques and systems but for me the main motive of poetry is to attain some kind of vision through some arrangements of words which can vary from people to people . In short I hate the objectification of poetry to a single subject matter. Some of the poems in the book are short , some of them are long , some of them with title , some of them without one . The poems are written with no restriction of any kind . Poetry is free , poetry is for those who can feel , understand and write their heart out and this book just aims that .

Prologue PUTTING POETRY BEYOND ANY BOUNDARIES READ AND HAVE FUN ......

• xiii •

1. We are sitting in a lone boat We are sitting in a lone boat wearing a plastic wet coat Rain peeping into our eyes where does , where does even the journey lies !!! Ahead lies the giant water boulder Weather starting to be execrable and a little colder. Wherever I look feebly None for , to help None for , to yelp . . . . . Middle of nothing , Glancing and looking Where are we heading Both don’t know, Ohh what a journey it would be. . . We are sitting in a lone boat Glancing each other May be Embracing . . . Hopelessness , anguish And Agony coming our way . . . . •1•
