Duet Poem Book Series: Submission Call

Duet Poem Book Series: Submission Call

With the successful completion of my first duet poetry book “Mellifluous”- The Threads of Poetry- Volume-I. I am making an attempt for the publication of the more volumes of duet poetry book-The Threads of Poetry- Volume II to Volume IV.

It would be in the form of collection of poems from poets like you and me had done in case of mellifluous. If you are a poem lover, a poet like me who are interested in sharing their emotions through poems and want to share it to the outer world, you may send me your interest for the book. The poets whose publication would be accepted would have the opportunity to see their work published in the form of a poetry book in our book series.  I will do my best to publish it.

For Volume II-Seasons
 “The spring, the summer, the chilling autumn, angry winter changes their wonted liveries”- William Shakespeare. The theme of the book is on “SEASONS”. So, show to the world the creative side of your mind on any of the seasons of the year through the poems. Your poems can be on any aspect of the six seasons- spring, summer, monsoon/rainy, autumn, winter, fall. It could your thoughts about a special person in specific season, it could be your feelings on the arrival of a specific season, or it could be memories during any season, or love of nature.

Apart from the volume II-“Season” there are other themes for the different books in the series. Let’s write duet poem in all the following themes for the series:

Lessons from a Matchstick

We know that a match is a flammable object for lighting a fire in required situation. This match sticks even though very small but can teach big lessons. It rubs itself on the rough surface again and again until it burns to ignite the light. The first lesson is that if you want to get something from life, you have bet ready to rub yourself to difficult situations of life. You should be ready to face the hurdles of life.

Odisha: Memories Recollected

When I thought to pen down something for the Kalinga Samaj e-magazine, I was puzzled while selecting a topic, because many years have passed, I would have written anything in odia. Then I  remembered about my school days and my odia lessons. I just could not just control myself to stop laughing for number of incidents relating to my subject odia in my school days- our odia teacher, the handwritings, the essay competitions, the odia idioms, story writing assignments, punishments, examinations days, daddy’s practise sessions and lots more. Childhood days are amazing in classroom, but a little tough for an English medium student in the odia class. With time, the love for the mother tongue grows, the tough subject seems a treasure to the heart and life. No one in this world, who are born and brought up in Odisha, would have forgotten the childhood day’s lullaby sang by their mother. Every night before we sleep, we hear “aa janha mamun sarada shashi; mo kahnu hatha re padhe tu
