oboe

A dream
I am in a boat
Its called oboe
when I called it so
somone corrected me
Its pronounced aboe
not o boe

Alliteration in Babys Day Out



"He must have contusions, concussions and contractions"
" with all of my guile, gut and grist"
a candle's chance in a cyclone.

Of artists.


Envelope messaging



In a Full Face Window Envelope
with a sheet of wallet pics of
my daughter
When I held the transparent side at
an angle

Bubble finger

Suddenly a quarter of the room
had soap bubbles
With so many in the air
I became a child
like all the other twos
I held my finger tips so
the bubbles would stick

Once that achieved
I tried transferring it
to other kids, but
the bubbles didnt survive

Then came stacking the bubbles
one on another
I counted till ten.

A microwave that fans by itself

The microwave mus have felt hot
It began whirring by itself
we could do nothing to switch it off
10 min later it went off

Europe has Class B requirement
where code needs to be checked
so that your appliances dont turn
Malicious

But getting some air
has it ever been malicious

140 characers for 3




I didnt realise that unsent letters could be so much fun. The Twitter feeds and the lists are funny.
The author's replies to the conversation heard as a third party listener is a two-tier privilege to the reader.
If the authors neighbies are so dumb, I am surprised how he hasnt moved. I still didnt get how the author has become a better person. And if the author has decoded the female brain then the next book should be 'What girls want?'.

The Unimaginable





3 and 1/2 stars
I was very intrigued by the story. I never read a romance that takes place abroad for the characters. And to think of the heroine trying to save herself, who doesnt want to be in that place.
The setting of a foreign land and the shores add up for a catchy tale. The main characters emotional baggage is well portrayed. Another supporting character too is well sketched while the traditional romance novels dont leave the focus from the main characters. The most striking thing about the book is the adventure and the risk that it involves , which adds the texture of things going awry.
The book is way too long for a romance novel. Its not going to be a quick stress buster like a Harlequin or M&B. But the length also gave the author a chance to flesh out her characters to know them more than superficially.
