So apparently my toddler was born with something called a dermoid cyst.

I noticed it only when he was 2 (not 2 months, 2 years old!). I was looking at him and noticed a small lump by his inner eye.

I started researching up and right, asking on line. It was in the middle of the pandemic and we had a Zoom visit with his pediatrician who dismissed it as a clogged tear duct or a stye.

I wasn’t satisfied. I knew it was neither.

I researched and researched and researched for weeks till I found something that looked similar. It was called dermoid cyst.

I found a small Facebook group dedicated to this subject and I joined it.

I quickly learned that dermoid cysts usually are formed in the womb from extra skin and hair tissues and they mostly present as a pit in the middle of the nose.

I love experimenting with poetic forms especially when there is a liberty to play with words. Because I find it hard to go with the technicalities of the pattern.

And I have flubbed up Sedoko into tanka. So have I rectified it later. But to go with the structural aspect of poetry is very important.

Today’s Poetry form is Cinquain and I am delighted to share few of the very popular Cinquains which are chosen among the most.

A Cinquain is a nifty five-line poem inspired by Japanese Haiku. It was invented by Adelaide Crapsey. She was an American poet who took inspiration from Japanese Haiku. 

Here is my take on Cinquain poetry form. Hope you like it friends.

Thanks for the beautiful read friends. Your views and comments are much appreciated.

Much love and gratitude.
Stay…

It’s more than time. The jury is no longer out. States have been weighing in. And the answer has been a resounding : “Yes”.

It’s a massive shift that took place over just a few years.

A decade ago, no states allowed marijuana for recreational use; the first states to legalize cannabis in 2012, Colorado and Washington, did so through voter-driven initiatives.

Now, 17 states and Washington, DC, have legalized marijuana (although DC doesn’t yet allow sales), with five enacting their laws through legislatures, showing even typically cautious politicians are embracing the issue.

Hear me more. Says your body. 
 Your health can speak in many ways.
 Disease is the annoy expressed by your body. Sometimes we ignore our body and mental health.

Today’s poetry form is Soliloquy.

A Soliloquy is a monologue in which a character speaks to himself or herself, expressing the inner feelings that the audience might not otherwise know. Soliloquy is not considered a poem, but witnessing them in most of the Shakespeare's plays can blend them into a poetry form. 

Soliloquy reveals the character of an individual. Popular soliloquy of Romeo Juliet play speaks her loud thoughts when she comes to know that Romeo, is the son of her family’s enemy.

At times every individual needs that liberty to speak his thoughts aloud. Feelings are vented out to unchain from the mental blockage.

A soliloquy or a monologue is…
