Modern Poems
Monotony Music
by Lokenath Roy
Monotony's music blares silent screams
down a raptured eardrum. sat here
on this fracture-legged bench since when the sweet melody
of burping car bonnets from yards away,
flare the sunken voices in my heartland. now old
hammerheads, hammer and-
hammer nail-heads on a skull-stuck, loitering
slumbering thoughts- through the traffic maze. in just a snap

Antiques and Memories
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Within halls that all but speak,
Sit elegant objects, very antique;
Treasured and valued bits of past,
Which care and devotion made last.
A museum crowded with sweet memory,
Like of dead, red robin's late beauty!
The glossy mirror gracing the wall,
At ruddy sunset, reflects them all.

You as my habit
by Sworup Ghimire
Every day i wake up
Just to see your face
I open the phone
Wondering about you as it gets
I guess you are my habit
Habit i cannot get loose of
I see you smile
It makes me wonder
“If you notice me now”
