Once again I have been asked to take on the challenging task of conducting 24th poetry contest. The 14th week contest I hosted was an exciting one with unprecedented number of entries by esteemed bloggers. It was hectic but a heartening experience at the same time because I realized the potential of the bloggers that turn this place into a vibrating and lively turf. That was 14th round. On this 24th round, I ask all those who have participated in 23rd contest (I don’t need to take their names) to send in their entries and also all those who for some reasone have not participated.
Sophizz, Supriya, why are you absent from these pages? Raja Ramchandran, Padmaja balaji, Kala BN, blizzard, enchanted world, resplendence, shantalanil, sunkan,, Tarabh, blood-lime, achillees, krishnabaalu…am I forgetting someone? ruxana, Maya anil, roshansr, shail, Meera san, I don’t see you here anymore.
Charuavi, yashasvi, swayamprava, anadbhairavi, Dream peddler, PBS, keeya, anneshwa, Sue and Reffy, you all have my personal invitation. J luke, vish shanker, waste buster, chandrika radhakrishnan, vijaysathya, vasudha murthy, promilla, Shuvanshri, sanghoustan and saranya…are you all listening?
Give me as tough a time as you did in the previous round in deciding the winners. And then you can be cross with me for not declaring you the winner …but do participate. This space will remain incomplete without you all!!
Seema, namita, Shani, shootradhar, nanua and writers at heart; would love to read your hindi version.
Please, all those I haven’t mentioned and who feel inspired by the pictures, do send in your entries and keep me awake till wee hours of the morning.
Theme is abstract world…..fluid, uncertain, changeable, inconsistent, dreamy, translucent or truth, down to earth reality ...whatever. I don't wish to corrupt your mind with my suggestions...it's an open canvas....fill it up with deft strokes of your brush (prose/ Poetry)...you can write in whichever way your mind perceives these pictures. You know all the rules; I shall reproduce them once again in the end.
Here are the pictures
