VERSE | THE ACCIDENTAL WORDSMITH

I’m an accidental wordsmith 
I solder little things 
Nouns and verbs and adjectives
Some calming, some with a sting 

Some say they like my poetry
When words I synchronise 
Like Paler than a Tundra Jailer
Eyes Turquoise like Southern Skies 

Others they are fonder of 
The short stories that I weave 
Of everyday folks, who beat all the odds 
Tales of strength and tales of grief 

Still others declare, that they swear
By my pithy, four line squiggles 
Proverbs with a caustic twist 
Metaphors to make you giggle 

There are also those that have held on
To their childhood innocence
My fairy tales and creature lore
Are their thimbles full of gin 

So I carry on being a wordsmith
Hugging hearts and moving minds
With truth and grit, drollery and bliss 
Sharing a few moments out of time.

I consider myself somewhat of a “serial corporate rut absconder”. Only because a sabbatical that was to last a year, has turned to 6, and I still see no end in sight to the freedom I’ve now so fully embraced! I was a part of the Financial Services Industry before hanging up my professional suit and hat and harnessing the winds of high adventure.... or at least copious cups of tea watching tropical sunsets while putting some pixel energy behind the Great Emancipation! And that is where my blog was birthed and from where my first book of short stories, “The Girl with the Paisley Dupatta & Other Stories” has also come about. When I’m not writing, I’m watching or reading science fiction and the superbly diverse literature that is constantly emerging from the larger subcontinent. I hope you enjoy my written meanderings as much as I do creating them. https://www.facebook.com/Mahvash.Moht/
