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
......
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”

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.
