Staff Picks for April 2013
Posted by mamta on Monday, April 22, 2013 (18:09:45)
The ugly face of terror raises its head once in a way. The Boston bombings and many other terror strikes across the world is a reminder of the hatred and anger that reside in the minds of many who always end up targeting the innocent and children. My first pick for this month is a poem that shows the effect these kind of gruesome acts have on children and adults as well.

Staff Picks for July 2012
Posted by mamta on Friday, July 20, 2012 (17:32:51)
It's known to all of us that a poem is never fully complete. There are poets who enjoy revisiting their old poems and bring out a completely revised version with the original metaphor or thought being the same. The initial write must have been written at a different time, with a different perspective. People evolve with time and experience and so does a poet's thinking.

Staff Picks for March 2012
Posted by mamta on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 (16:11:17)
It's springtime again and it's that time of the year when nature resonates with the beauty of budding trees and blooming flowers. I begin this month's staff picks with the poem 'daffodil' as I feel they are beautiful harbingers of the spring season and it would be apt for this month's staff picks.

Staff Picks for November 2011
Posted by mamta on Saturday, November 19, 2011 (10:54:05)
'One thing almost all old masters have in common and all the established contemporary poets share with them is the pace and flow of the poem and the clarity of the thought. It may take just a few minutes to pen a poem, and a few more to refine it, but to be able to write a poem of real merit, it takes hours or maybe days or even years of careful thought.'
