God made the World in just six days,
And took one off to rest.
He blessed it with some solar rays,
To warm the first bird’s nest.
God chose to give the world He made
To man, made from the grounds;
With just one rule: Don’t eat that fruit

The man and woman broke the rules,
And poisoned [...]

He put his arms around her-
It made the poor girl sick;
Was is true? what her Pa said?
That “he was a-damn-poor-stick?”
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HER;
She was far away from HOME-
She told him “I NEARLY FROZE TO DEATH!”
In……my little bed… alone.
He put his arms around her-
But that was away last week;
An his new car was ready [...]

She pulled herself out of the water, nails digging into the soggy riverbank, choking on weeds and coughing up the muck from the riverbed. She lay still for a while, long wet tendrils of her dark hair straggling across her face, her fingers embedded into the moss and leaves beneath her. Her jeans, heavy with [...]

The Lufthansa flight from Newyork landed in Chennai at 2:15 AM, thirty minutes later than the scheduled arrival time. Mohanasundaram was waiting at the arrival terminal with increasing anticipation.

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

SANTA’S HAT
By: Cynthia DiSciullo and William Zigmont
Sunshine leaned back into her comfy overstuffed chair,
Felt the amber glow and warmth of the fireplace there
The magic of a youthful mind is so very scrumptious and delicious
A charming place things are really-real even if they are fictitious
Rambleton Acres felt a jolt of winter’s mighty breath [...]

-Withdrawn-
The voice that haunts me is…
The voice that sounds as if…
It has exhaled opium for 30 years,
And has forgotten where to get out
Living loosely? No, just living on idle is…
The OCD’d white car that just
Won’t bust
Waiting to break her in and make her up
I write
Longing for the [...]

O young Lochinvar is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Country this guy they detest,
And save armpit noises he talent had none,
He thought they were funny and thought they were fun,
He thought that his ‘talent’ would make him a star,
But no one did care for the young Lochinvar.
He left California and charged straight [...]

When the deft fingers touch the strings of the heart,
A tone suppressed in tears, emanate from its haggard look.
