Is it a mace,
Of a faery race?
A wind-spun fruit,
From a dew-cooled root?
A spider’s lair,
Infused with air?
A low-hung cloud,
Become a shroud?
A morning lamp,
Dimming and damp?
A tendril’s twist,
Bedecked with mist?
That Amy framed,
As yet unnamed?

I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then.
I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile!
A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit).
I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog.
I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly.
I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.
Lovely!

I’m honored, Dr. Hb! So beautifully written. Thank you so much!
I have had some trouble with my Internet connection, and just got my desktop back, have to reset and reload everything.
Love this poem, I will post it on Monday! π

I’m glad you liked it Amy. I had the first couple of lines in my head for some time, finally got the time to complete the thought. I figured you’d be getting back to routine after Christmas and new year vacations and might not be online as often. Glad to hear your computer is working fine. π

I know only four or five flowers by name. The other names I recognise but couldn’t pull the flowers out of a lineup. Truly sad. I like this natural dreamcatcher and, of course, Amy’s blog.

I’m as ignorant about flowers and trees, sadly.
