Six Short Poems by Anushna Biswas

 

SCENARIO

 

Morning gives way to noon 

Noon to the way to night 

Night, an image of apprehension 

Simply I cut through it 

Claimed by dream.

 

 

MUSE

 

Love my muse 

Not for any use 

My fiancée hidden there 

A mysterious sphere.

 

 

SUN SHINE

 

Super structures escalate 

Poor snowed under its shadow 

Lies before a green surface  

Smart sun smiles on ocean face.

 

 

BOOK STORE

 

I stop at book store 

Books display skeleton 

In dark floats vision 

Escape I make soon.

 

 

PREDATORS

 

In a land of snakes 

Mongoose sneaks 

Soon snakes vanish 

This is no skittish.

 

 

AFRAID OF DARKNESS

 

Hello darkness 

Why people fear you 

Are you made to haunt 

Or dark magic to flaunt 

I dare your feature and image 

That is my interior courage.
