    About this ebook

    Sometimes telling a story in prose form is time consuming. Whenever I feel that, I try my hand in poetry. We all live in some types of illusions in our day to day life. Recently, I have developed an illusion that I can also write poems expressing my mind to the readers. My illusions have been reinforced by some ‘Wow’ comments made by some readers when some of the poems were posted on FB. Under the seize of that illusion I am publishing my ‘Third Attempt’.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Preface

      Sometimes telling a story in prose form is time consuming. Whenever I feel that, I try my hand in poetry. We all live in some types of illusions in our day to day life. Recently, I have developed an illusion that I can also write poems expressing my mind to the readers. My illusions have been reinforced by some ‘Wow’ comments made by some readers when some of the poems were posted on FB. Under the seize of that illusion I am publishing my ‘Third Attempt’.

      I am thankful to the readers, well-wishers and family members for encouraging me to write something on something! Thanks to Smashwords for providing me the platform to publish this compilation of few poems.
