I will go serially, book-wise, today’s piece is from Agnikorak 3: Haiku Hues: Beauty within


Agnikorak Book 3

https://shoptly.com/i/vkm


I know many of you are already thinking that most of my posts in my blogs are my old works, years old quite often. Where are my new works? Have I stopped writing new ones?


Well I am still writing and painting as enthusiastically as before. But these days they are channeled into four other platforms- my annual republished kindle books (https://amazon.com/author/sharmishthabasu) -they devour quite a huge no. of stories and poems every year. Quite a lot!


my bookstore in shoptly (https://shoptly.com/sharmishthabasu) Another section goes to my shoptly bookstore, here I not only publish my monthly Ezines Agnijaat and Agnishatdal I also publish a set of books of poetry and story. They are quite merrily illustrated and are available as pdf files. Yes you can read them perfectly in your cellular phone and of course in computer.


My twin Ezines Agnijaat and Agnishatdal (both English, monthlies) don’t feature much stories or poems but publish all my new essays and articles and again, truckload of illustrations.


and my patreon profile (https://patreon.com/sharmishthabasu) This one again contains bunch of stories, poems and they almost always are illustrated. If not then the stories are very long and of the type that can’t be illustrated.


I have been so stuck up with my creations that I have ignored my blogs and other social media profiles since 2015 I believe. So, if you enjoyed my works quite amply then I think it is high time that I bring you up to date, to share what I am creating these days and how can you get them!


It will be a lengthy affair, so have patience. I will be updating you about my four years of hyperactive creativity!


I have started with Patreon’s works since April 2019. It is sort of my launch-pad to make my creativity actually become my career. So since creating my profile there I have been updating 5 works each month, two are the Ezines, the remaining three are writing and paintings. Works my blogger friends thoroughly enjoyed. Stories and poems with ample amount of illustrations!


Anyone who becomes my patron there can chose from few tiers-


You can check them from my profile- https://patreon.com/sharmishthabasu


The next set of works will be from my store in shoptly.com. I have created this store because it gives me lot more freedom than other platforms do. I can pick up the formatting and decide how many pictures I will add and in what size. Nothing meddles with them. So I sort of love this platform. You will see dozens of books here, you can directly buy them from shoptly or buy them from me via paypal- https://paypal.me/sharmishthabasu [don’t forget to drop me a line @ sermistabasu@gmail.com after paying in paypal so I can send you the pdf file {all these books cost $1.00

Thursday Rhymes 23.5.19

THURSDAY RHYMES 23.5.19


Go ahead and preach

But don’t try to teach

“Me”

Who is bad!

Who is good!

I am that invisible being

who has been studying!

“Your ways” for decades.

How you flip and flop

then take a 180 degree turn.

How you change colours

(Read it as statements)!

How your allegiance changes

from white to red to green

“Please!”

Spare me!

I am not a fool!

Go bark somewhere else!

Convince the majority,

who somehow don’t see through!

We the ones who can are after all

minorities, not vital for your power-grab!


A bouquet of wildflowers



This book is mostly about human nature, its complexity. Both its darkness and light has been shared in this book. Beware many poems are pretty direct, harsh straight from real world! But there are a few lighter ones too don’t worry.


As you may know it started with my storybooks in 2017, I kept the titles of the books but changed their contents fully, excluding the title stories. I told that I will include the poetry books from next year, here they are from 2018 onwards the contents of the poetry books will change too, most probably every year. In case of poetry books there are no title poems so majority of the contents or all contents will change. Hope you will enjoy them! I really don’t have any intentions of adding more titles in Amazon, I have stuffed up too many already, but I am stuffed with works so I will just change the contents every year, of as many books as I can handle! The createspace books, the paperbacks will be deleted this year-2019, so from this year onwards only poems, illustrated books will be in shoptly only barring few illustration based books in Kindle.

Thursday Rhymes 16.5.19

THURSDAY RHYMES 16.5.19

preachers and wise


Preaching is easy

wisdom is tough

Preachers may not be wise

wise may not preach.


In this world we often see

fake preachers and pearls

shouting and glittering more

louder and shinier than real ones!


So listen with an open mind,

for fake preachers very often

pick up the gems of wise souls

and use them for ulterior motive.


Just listen to their words,

pick up the essence,

the essence of the path

they are showing you to walk upon!


Then sift the dust, pick up the gems

discard the remaining.

Sooner or later you will see

if it is truly wisdom or just façade!

The lotus of Fire

This book is mostly about God, spiritualism and blessed sides of life, and will stay so, even if I change the contents of the book completely, which I am not planning right now, right now I am only editing and sometimes rewriting old poems and of course I have completely removed the illustrations permanently. So this book will bring a bunch of poems each year revolving around light and God.

Thursday Rhymes 9.5.19

THURSDAY RHYMES 9.5.19

pray


When you see evil everywhere

Pray!

When you see devil in every face

Pray!


It will work sooner or later

that veil will be removed!

That black veil that’s transforming

golden light to black rays!


When your prayers are answered

you will see,

no matter how dark the world is

there is always light too!


It may not be in the place you seek,

Or the form in which you desire,

but it is always there for you,

all you will have to do is embrace it!


The lotus of Fire
