Featured Poems

"Where Words Go to Heal"

– Ria Metha

Where Words Go to Heal

Words dance softly in the air,
Carried by thoughts too deep to share.
A whisper turned to ink and light,
A hush of truth in darkest night.
Verses ripple in the soul,
Binding broken parts to whole.
What can’t be said finds silent grace,
In poetry’s warm, endless space.

– Ria Metha

"The Earth Whispers Back"

– Arjun Verma

The Earth Whispers Back

The river hums a quiet tune,
Beneath the sun, beneath the moon.
Leaves applaud the morning breeze,
Roots hold secrets under trees.
Petals bow to drops of rain,
Mountains echo joy and pain.
Nature sings with voice so wide,
In every stone, the earth confides.

– Arjun Verma

"The Weight of Time"

– Lian Zhang

The Weight of Time

Silver threads in weathered hair,
A gaze that’s seen the world laid bare.
Hands that tremble, soft with time,
Still cradle dreams and verses rhyme.
Footsteps slow, but hearts still race,
Through memories they can’t replace.
A lifetime held in laugh and sigh,
Old age, a truth you can't deny.

– Lian Zhang

"Tail of Truth"

– Hana Kim

Tail of Truth

A wagging tail, a loyal heart,
A friend who loves from end to start.
No judgment passed, no grudge to keep,
They guard your soul while you're asleep.
In muddy paws and eager eyes,
A quiet kind of wisdom lies.
They teach us joy, and how to stay—
Present in the smallest day.

– Hana Kim

"Loops of Love"

– Ava Tran

Loops of Love

With every loop, a story spun,
Of warmth and care for everyone.
A clack of needles, steady beat,
A blanket soft, a gift complete.
Threads entwine like hearts that know,
Love is stitched in every row.
In patient craft, the hands reveal
The quiet art of how we feel.

– Ava Tran

"Ovenlight and Memory"

– Rohan Sharma

Ovenlight and Memory

Flour clouds and cinnamon air,
Butter melting into care.
Dough that rises, soft and slow,
Love beneath each golden glow.
Measuring more than cups and grams,
A recipe of hearts and hands.
In baking, moments sweetly blend,
And warmth is something we can send.

– Rohan Sharma

"Becoming Quietly"

– Yuto Takahashi

Becoming Quietly

Not all growth is seen in height,
But in the way we choose what's right.
Through cracked ground, the green will grow,
A sign of strength we rarely show.
Each stumble carves a wiser path,
Each tear may birth a quiet laugh.
We bloom in pain, in joy, in strife—
Becoming more with every life.

– Yuto Takahashi

"Backyard Galaxies"

– Meera Iyer

Backyard Galaxies

Sticky hands and wild delight,
Chasing stars on summer night.
Questions tumbling, minds so wide,
Imagining the world outside.
Giggles echo through the day,
In their joy, all fears decay.
Children teach us how to be—
Present, bright, and truly free.

– Meera Iyer

"Ink Between the Lines"

– Devanshi Patel

Ink Between the Lines

A poem is a breath made whole,
A mirror of the searching soul.
Not bound by grammar, tense, or rhyme,
It stretches past the edge of time.
With ink it paints the silent screams,
Or weaves the hush of midnight dreams.
It listens more than it declares—
A quiet friend that always cares.

– Devanshi Patel

"Language Older Than Words"

– Owen Carter

A Language Older Than Words

Rain taps gently on the glass,
As winds go dancing through the grass.
The earth beneath begins to hum,
A lullaby for what's to come.
In stillness lies the loudest grace,
In shadows, too, the sunlight's face.
Nature doesn’t rush or race—
She teaches all in her embrace.

– Owen Carter

"Embers Still Glow"

– Tanvi Joshi

Embers Still Glow

Each wrinkle holds a tale to tell,
Of battles fought and moments well.
A slower gait, a gentler tone,
Yet never truly all alone.
Memories bloom behind the eyes,
Like springtime after winter skies.
Old age is not a closing door—
It’s just a softer kind of more.

– Tanvi Joshi

"Eyes That Know"

– Saanvi Kulkarni

Eyes That Know

They chase the world with simple glee,
Content with just your company.
Ears that perk at every sound,
Hearts that love you safe and round.
They ask for little, give so much,
In every lick, a loving touch.
No truer friend you’ll ever find,
Than one with tail and faithful mind.

– Saanvi Kulkarni

"Thread by Thread”

– Priya Choudhury

Thread by Thread

Colors chosen, patterns bloom,
Wool like whispers fills the room.
Stitch by stitch the minutes go,
Binding time in gentle flow.
Each mistake, a little flare—
Proof that love is always there.
Knitting warms what words can't mend,
Threaded comfort without end.

– Priya Choudhury

"Flour-Dusted Love"

– Min-Jae Park

Flour-Dusted Love

Crusts that crackle, jam that gleams,
Pastries folded out of dreams.
Ovens ticking like a song,
Where time and patience both belong.
The scent of sugar, brown and bold,
A memory baked, a story told.
For every pie and every bun,
Is joy that rises with the sun.

– Min-Jae Park

"Through the Cracks"

– Anupa Srinivas

Through the Cracks

You may not notice when it starts—
The soft reshaping of your heart.
The way you choose a kinder tone,
Or learn to stand your ground alone.
Growth is quiet, never loud,
Like roots beneath the frozen ground.
One day you’ll turn, and you will see—
You’ve bloomed into who you should be.

– Anupa Srinivas
