Winter Sunshine

Alright! So I am finally making an entrance to the world of blogging!(Ya..Ya too late..I know! But better late than never..right?)

Kinda bored now that I'm done with my exams..(like you care..)..so anyways,Today I'm in the mood to speak bout...well me!:-)Ok jokes apart...lets talk bout poetry..(Guys..please stop yawning!)

My love affair with poetry began when i was really young..I guess I was 5..(believe me it is true!)
I wrote 4 lines on the rain...Infact it is the rain more often than not that sets me in a mood for composing.

As expected,those 4 lines were pretty lame,but all the same..(Hey watch me!I'm already rhyming stuff!!:-))..I won't include those 4 lines here coz I doubt it may affect my future prospects as a poetess(ya...feminist..its true)...but more importantly because,I don't really remember it that well!!!!

Moving on,over the years I've written a lot of poems(standard length-16 lines...can exceed that sometimes..but the end result isn't very good)...I've a compilation of alll these poems in my old english classwork...And have named it "Winter Sunshine"(hence the name of this blog).

Why "Winter Sunshine"?..I guess mostly coz all my poems,or atleast most of them were composed when i was having the blues..Hence "winter"...and by the end of my composition,I realize its too negative and give myself hope by putting hope into the poem as well...Hence "Sunshine".
You know,typing stuff on the net isn't as fun as writing stuff into ur personal diary...but anyways...I've just started.Let's see how far I go..

In case you are wondering where's the sample of my poetry..Here goes an excerpt from 'Dear Friends of mine'

"In your presence,I didn't realize your essence,
Now in your absence,My loneliness is intense,
So jump over and cross that fence,
And come back to me,My dear friends"

So long...see ya
