Kirti V

An IT Professional turned teacher who loved to write took to serious writing during the 2020 pandemic. I prefer writing poems but have written some short stories as well. A voracious reader, linguist, an avid quizzer, music and sports lover, self proclaimed coffee addict and foodie that I am, my creations also reflect the same. Have contributed to some anthologies and look forward to publish my own sometime. Kirti's Signature is the foundation for that.. Happy to share my work with you all through this website. It contains poems, stories, mini bytes (pocket poems and pocket stories), reviews and a glimpse of my published work!! The website will also feature the different types of poetry forms with the explanations and sample poems written on the same.

The Musings of a Fallen Leaf

Loss

  Heavy on heart, Haunting the mind, Loss leaves an impression, That creates a void.   Loss, just four letters, Is a word that's inevitable, But dreaded by  Every human on earth.   Loss of a loved one, A dear one, Oh… that's hard, To adjust and move...

Why??

  Dust and fragments Covered the earth, That once was a garden.   Instead of cherries on trees, It now had dried blood, And pieces of human flesh.   Pebbles were replaced, With empty shells And metal fragments.   The greenery gave way to, Grey, black and red… The...

Sound of Silence

Ask a new mom,  What is the sound of silence?  She would say…  "Relaxation mode on!!".   Ask a mom of a toddler,  What is the sound of silence?  She would say…  " It is dangerous and fearsome ".   Ask a teacher,  What is...

Benevolent Shade

Your shade, so soothing, Was our abode for ages. Under you, we grew, Laughed, cried and enjoyed. You saw us as toddlers, Running around you, Singing Ring-around-the- roses. As we grew, Your shade grew too And we basked under it, During lunch and PE. Your...

The English Teacher

R K Narayan, the name synonymous with the dreamy town of Malgudi. Isn't it? When I picked up his book 'The English Teacher', I didn't imagine that it would leave a lasting impression on...
