A POETIC LARKSPUR

"For eight long years, I was put in prison.

For no offence of mine, for no apparent reason."

-Subhadra Bhadauria

"A Poetic Larkspur" is a miscellany of poems pertaining to multifarious moods: nostalgic, cheerful, gloomy, ominous, whimsical, enraged, pensive, mysterious and others. This smorgasbord of poems employs various poetic devices to convey manifold notions, standpoints, fellow feelings, and a sneaking suspicion. It also narrates stories in a lyrical manner.

These lyrical verses are arranged into two sections: the former is dedicated to a departed soul with whom the author had shared a close rapport, and the latter is concerned with grave issues such as childhood traumas, AFSPA, pseudo-feminism, marital rape, the agony of men, global warming, the dark world of glamour, etc.

The second section also proffers couplets that reflect on the themes of friendship, hues of love, coffee, smartphone, and the plight of a rented house. This miscellanea is an invitation for every rebel, thinker, and aesthete to a thought-evoking and enthralling ride in the realm of poetry.
