Sweet revenge

You knew all the right codes

To unlock padlocked chests

Exposed, in turns I smolder and shiver

As elements wreak havoc in sweet revenge.

  3. Wonderfully intense!

    A little nit-picking: (1) ‘all’ may not be necessary in Line 1 (2) Is it ‘wreck’ instead of ‘wreak’?
    Cheers…

    Me: Thanks Pal. It is ‘wreak’ not wreck.

  5. It is good to see you back
    and straightaway you are on track
    it is certainly not words you lack
    and for that alone you deserve a plaque.

    Me:
    Words I certainly don’t lack
    I use too many I was told long back
    But look, now I am on a different track
    Saying it in four lines has become a knack :P

  11. Shail,
    Interesting one.
    But if I knew the right codes to unlock padlocked chests, I would have robbed a bank and lived happily ever after. Yeah, different people, different strokes! :-)
    Regards,
    Salil

  16. You sharpen your craft
    with each word that you write
    as your thoughts clash in the clouds
    and rain stormy insights tonight.

    Those insights pour for
    your readers delight
    as the elements of your story dance
    in our immediate sight

    Thanks for sharing.

    Me: Wow Bob in a poetic mood?? Thank you for those lines Bob! :)

  17. [...] Shail for her lovely poetry and funny, delightful glimpses into her life… and also for her encouraging comments on my posts on gender issues. I really feel like clapping after many, many of her passionate comments. [...]
