When I wrote this story, I felt it needed something more. The characters and dialogues were nice but I wanted more than nice, I wanted extraordinary! Wanted my story to sing at the top of its voice and express the emotions layered in its pages. The poet in me overpowered the author, also within me and let its presence be known throughout the story. Each chapter of this story begins and ends with poetry and I love the way the prose and verses interact, communicate and add another element to my story.

When I wrote my debut novel

Little did writer in me know

A poet’s heart is poetic first

The prose sits in the second row.

My story is peppered with poems

Like fairy dust on your dreams

Shimmering sun on golden domes

Scrubbed old magic lamp gleams.

My poems interspersed with prose

Their verses sing the novel’s song

Rhythmically my story flows

Here both the prose and verse belong
