Okay ! So, I've been off for a few days. This hot summer is making me a bit crazy and with the water crisis in our campus, the situation is nothing short of a low-scale artificial famine !!
Well, I got some time at night and I wrote down this short poem (under the fan obviously...) - check it out !

Blistering
Barnacles
The Summer
is heated; And beneath me,
The dry
Earth crackles.
Hot winds
in the day
Dry my
derma; and remind me
That this
is MAY!
Evenings
usually bring about a humid
And
irritating weather; while sometimes gifting
Sweet
breezes, lovely, calm and timid.
And when
you meet that strong gale,
Accompanied
by a fierce thunderstorm; You are in pure ecstasy
With a
cheery & charming face, fresh out of a fairy tale!

P.S.
– This poem was written due to 3 reasons which simultaneously combined to give
me the urge of penning it down.
1.
I wanted to come out of my poetic inactivity after a lot of days. And the
summer’s weather was a good way to begin.
2.
I had wanted to use the rhyme scheme I found on Kirti's Blog.
Start
of Line 1 (Rhyme A)
End of Line 1; Start of Line 2 (Rhyme B)
End of Line 2 (Rhyme A)
End of Line 1; Start of Line 2 (Rhyme B)
End of Line 2 (Rhyme A)

During the Stage Rehearsals of Rabindra Jayanti 2012, I spent a lot of time
discussing the funny abuses of Captain Haddock in 'The Adventures of Tintin'
with Aranyak Chakraborty. They aren’t really abusive and ‘Blistering Barnacles’
– Haddock’s Trademark abuse caught on as the title for this poem.
