Calligram - Jabberwocky

A calligram is a poem, phrase, or word in which the typeface, calligraphy or handwriting is arranged in a way that creates a visual image. 

Ever since I read Jabberwocky , a nonsense poem written by Lewis Caroll in his 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass, I have been intrigued by it.

For this week’s “a-z word challenge” the word was J, so here I am with a calligrame of Jabberwocky, I borrowed the words from Lewis Caroll’s poem.

The poem goes like this:
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

Introspect - Etheree

Slight
strip of
crescent moon
smiling down at
idiosyncrasies of
life and artificial
glass lights illuminating
silicon villages, thinking
if the blindfolds of ebony clouds
more blinding or lust of electronic bliss.


The poetry form, Etheree, consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables

Parralel worlds

We live in parallel worlds,
you and I,
each on the other side of
glass walls.

Silence

When all the world’s concern has subsided
And you too seem to have moved on,
that’s when the emptiness appears,
and silences slowly frown.

A Blessing called Brother

You know how brothers, 

can be a troublesome lot,

boxing, fighting, taunting, 

everything they have taught,

When Mom cooks Maggi, 

we know what’s in store,

he would gobble his share 

and then beg for more,

With his puppy dog eyes, 

he has gained a ton,

ipod, tee’s and jeans, 

youngest has all the fun,

Years have passed by, 

still those memories float,

smiles a childhood, 

of puddles and paper boats,

Be it SOS calls, 

for virus attack or intruder

We always have, 

a blessing called Brother.

Heartiest birthday wishes to my Brother :)
