The Third

Hey,
First of all, I wanna thank all the people that visited. It's good to know that you all read this! Thanks for the comments as well. By the way, could you include your name in the end of the comment as blogspot puts your screen names on. Kind of hard to figure out who "bond" or "dark knight" are. Unless they are the real "bond" and "dark knight", which would be flattering indeed! :)

Some people also said, thankfully personally, that the poem was hard to understand. I guess it was overly cryptic so here are a few things that I hope clear it up a bit:

1. Hermes - Greek God of, among many other things, poetry, literature, and wit.

2. Apollo - Greek God of, among many other things (as I researched this, I realized that Greek people gave each of their Gods so much to be Gods of!), sun and light.

3. King of Snakes - The Basilisk - For those that haven't read Harry Potter (Get off my blog!:)), the basilisk is a snake that can kill with its direct gaze and stun with an indirect one.

One more thing: Don't hesitate to leave comments full of heavy criticism. Actually, I would enjoy reading those the most!

Next, and hopefully soon, will be an exiting short story. So stay tuned!

A Woman's Gaze

OK, so my first recorded attempt at poetry, and what better way to start than with a sonnet!

What is in a woman's gaze,
that gaze, like the morning haze.
Beauty's lashes when they flutt'r
halt Hermes! Hear him stutter?
The lips, the hips, the lovers
bemoan! Like many that hov'r,
they overlook the red thorns
beneath glaring green adorns.
The gaze, the gaze, morrow's haze,
so thick, it arrests Apollo's rays.
Stun like the King of Snakes,
from eyes like of the great sphinx.
Yet there is nothing, no reason for this stupor;
the sight is but in the eye of the beholder.

The First

Welcome, ladies and gents, to my very own blog! Although I am about 2 years behind everybody, I should be able to cover ground with regular posts (which I'm sure will come time to time...)

What can you expect to see here? Mostly my attempts at legible literature (poetry, short prose, and other literary sounding stuff). Updates about me may also appear here and there, so watch out!

Other than that, comments are not only welcome, but mandatory for anyone that has read a post. Anything you would like to call my work, or myself, will be appreciated.

Thanks

Himanshu Sahni
