MADNESS

Do not buy madness:
journeys of poetry
prizes and honours
tiring self-delusion
crazy loops lead nowhere

enjoy the drink and drift
on the choppy sea
you will find the shore
fledgling your own tongue
playing middling genius

--R.K.Singh

HAIKU

stumbling on pallet
in his studio flat--
sardonic smile

--R.K.Singh

DON'T CARE

Appearances cheat
so what?

I am what I am

all chance and choice

don't care if my voice
is misunderstood

they never cared
my silence too

--R.K.SINGH
