Social Media Shares of Excerpts from Suman Pokhrel's Works [Part III]
Social Media Shares of Excerpts from My Works Part III
I’m deeply grateful that my words have resonated with readers from all walks of life. Over time, many of my verses have been shared, cited, or referenced across social media, blogs, newspapers, academic publications, and more.
In this post, I have gathered examples of my work shared on social media, together with the original titles and, where applicable, links to the corresponding pieces. In instances where a link is absent, I will provide an appropriate reference at a later time, as works published in print cannot be directly linked. I hope this compilation assists readers in tracing each line back to its source. This is the 3rd installment in a series, presented in multiple parts due to Goodreads’ character limits. The other parts can be found at the links below:

“Out here
are books and magazines-
asleep, carrying the entire world in them,
and standing there
are walls and windows, staring at me,
and leaves of letters here-- about to go melting
quite like the heart itself,
and photographs-- lost in themselves
as if-
they're thinking of someone.”

“Out here
are books and magazines-
asleep, carrying the entire world in them,
and standing there
are walls and windows, staring at me,
and leaves of letters here-- about to go melting
quite like the heart itself,
and photographs-- lost in themselves
as if-
they're thinking of someone.”
