Now Feeling: Like A Real Writer

3D Mock up Cover Image
Cover Design: Yours Truly

If you've been reading my posts here, or on my older blog for a while, then you know I love writing poetry. Well, a whole bunch of them have now been published, and the book is available for sale (for peanuts). 

Start of the Same Old Story mirrors the frustration you've been feeling, the high highs and low lows of life - be it falling in love, or starting a new job. (And let's face it, those two things have far more in common with each other than they should.) In this book you can see me make the same patterns of mistakes over and over - so you don't have to! And you can laugh and laugh and laugh, because being human is about being stupid sometimes, and maybe that's okay. 🤣

I write about hope and tears, about love and loss.. and for some reason, about burning things down. 

Please feel free to buy the book and then write to me at anushkasierrachalakal@gmail.com with your feedback. Heartfelt praise and rotten tomatoes are equally welcome!

Throwback: Waltzing to the Tune of Rhetoric

-
Written September 7, 2010 A dark series of squiggles make their way down and across the page, in that order. Cheap poetry and lame jokes are the order of the day. For once the silence has retreated and is content to watch from the top row of the bleachers. For once there's no raining on the court while the ball's in play. There's a rose that lies at the back of my locker, wilted and fading away. It's a rose I don't expect to see in bloom again. It's a rose I've put aside, but one I cannot bear to throw away. Perhaps I should consign it to the bonfire I've made in my backyard, out of all the relics from the past. Perhaps keeping it in my locker is dangerous, for it might bloom again. Roses such as this one have been known to bloom more beautiful than before, long long after they withered away into nothing more than thin brown sticks and faded and detached petals. And in my excitement, I might just reach out and grab it again, forgetting th...
