Flights of Poetic Fancy, 02 January, 2014

Share This Post

My next poetry collection, Flights of Poetic Fancy, will be out on 02 January, 2014 by CreateSpace Independent Publishing. 

Flights of Poetic Fancy is a collection of whims, capricious enchantments and impulsive imaginations that attack the mind beguiled into visions and fantasies.

It is an aggregation of quarrels, musings, battles (rather not) fought, wounds and wooings, loves and agonies and all sorts possible nonsense and forgetfulness – anything and everything ghastly grim of the wandering mind – that possesses the mind and convinces it that no maxim and order has more sense than its thinking.

Flights of Poetic Fancy has a critical sensibility and humorous look at life, issues, vice and life while challenging the invention of history and beliefs strongly held by a people rather falling into despondency.

From the award winning author of First Words, Holy Emotions and Flashes of Vice, Flights of Poetic Fancy will leave you impishly amused yet reeling with ire and indignation. 

Born in Curse

When I stand to go, the first step is the hardest, but I take it. All I am thinking is I want to get myself out of the curse of being her ‘only child’. My spirit is bubbling from deep inside. It is that liberating. I will go and forget I had an elderly mother. I won’t look back, I decide. Even when, and if, she realizes that daughters too are children who can take care of their parents, I won’t come back, I tell myself. I am getting away from the curse, taking back my life. 

Blessed Virgin Merry

I was beatified the same day Sister Irene ‘Nyaatha’ Stefani became ‘Blessed’. While Blessed Irene Stefani began her journey to sainthood, I began mine to slut-hood. The only thing I share with Blessed Irene Stefani is Roman Catholicism and seven-frilled habits.
