Had I had a heap-full hints,
Help they would in blogging stints!
Hopelessly hovering around for inspiration to strike -
Hate to break the flow, cause
Hardly a few days are put behind.
Hassle it seems to think and type,
Highlighting each beginning with a "H"
Hanging in there to make this pattern stretch,
Howling in pain to see this verbal wretch..
Hope is something after all, heart assures.
Hindrances happen to the best of us.
Hard it is, but I let H fall apart
Holding on to trust,that
Hidden are the ideas rest,
Humming in the head's 'eureka' lanes
Here and there, playing peek a boo..
Happily emerging when "I" come(s) through!
Sheer Brilliance, Laxmi! You have not only created a wonderful story with your words, but you have created a shape too!! My god, you have some serious talent!! :)
ReplyDeleteShilpa, I am honored :-) The shape was a fluke thought;-)

ReplyDeleteSo you have done it again and shape poetry too! :D Awesomeness!
Mommy approves yet again ;-) Shape was a fluke Shail. Thanks for liking the "eureka lanes" - that was probably the saving grace of a spark that came to mind in an otherwise dud poem :-D
