    About this ebook

    Namitha's poems are intense and with a certain depth, an understanding of life and its struggles, and love of nature. Poems range from those of a typical teen riding high and low in waves of joy and lament as friendships are found and lost, her heart bursting into song with the smallest of things like the first rain or a bird soaring high up in the sky, to those of the concerns and fears of a sensitive girlhood verging on adulthood: the opportunity as well as the uncertainty it presents.

    Author

    Namitha K

    Namitha, a student of architecture, doing her first year, grew. She loves dancing, debating, playing, painting, and writing poems. Her strength lies in focused concentration, adaptability and high spiritedness. She started scribbling verses at the age of eleven. For her, life is a canvas—one that has been partially filled with the colors of skills, experiences, memories, and achievements and one that is yet to be filled with all that life has in store. She won the Horlicks Wiz Kids award in 2013.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
