Raj Dronamraju Poems

I shook your hand
I took the loss
Escape was impossible
I took the loss
...

The hand of friendship was offered
The hand of friendship was slapped away
The trajectory of the spurned
...

We are the goldfish in the bowl
We are known as Mr. and Mrs. Goldfish
I don't mind this transparency, a benign surveillance
...

Love sighted through an opening in deep forest
A blur that moves quickly and vanishes
But leaves a lasting impression
...

My father in law
Barely missed the last just war
But saw the severed heads of prisoners of war
The Japanese displayed them
...

If obnoxiousness is art consider this your exhibition gallery
Different stages of difficult behavior hang on the walls
"Don't touch" but some illiterate fool usually ends up doing just that
...

She is the queen of the replacements
Her people await further orders in a large open-air building
A former factory - old and gray and damp, it looks like the 1950's
...

Have you ever heard Saturday morning radio?
Is the radio programming different on Saturday morning compared to weekdays?

She dreads small talk and making his lunch
...

June is a doodle and a series of squiggly lines
Fortnightly makeovers and elegantly presented hangover

Someday someone will write the definitive statement on how the internet ruined music
...

The world is not just effect in place
For it's rotten inside and the outside is not so certain
The connection is not so close so who cares
It's beauty in a casual acquaintance, his only job is to be handsome.
...
