In honest simple verse
OVI: an ancient Indian form of narrative poetry consisting of four-line stanzas with the first three lines rhyming and having eight syllables each. The fourth line does not rhyme and contains less than eight syllables.
Dnyaneshwaar (1275-1296) was the first to use ovi in literature. (Illustration)

Murderous Poet
It’s late at night, I am wond’ring
Rhyming, thinking, a bit pond’ring
- two flies buzzing, circling, blund’ring…
Wished them dead!

Working in silence
Work in silence being a scribe
Means isolation avoiding the hype
Social media, and the vibe
- Just me and the screen
Words, sentences, and storylines
Poetry with or without rhymes
Hours of passion, in the mines
Of the lonely writer

My uncle Frits
A younger brother of my mom
Frits, twenty-one - the bravest one
From Holland to New Guinee, won
A medal when he died
Nineteen sixty-one, end of war
He headed home, free to explore
His life with family and more
Stepped on a landmine
Great mourning of this loss back home
My pregnant mom felt all alone
My life began, it set the tone
- a difficult bond
Frits got attention he deserved
Years later a plaquette reserved
In an army meeting observed
By us all, the family

My first Ovi
In the second wind of my life
Turning sixty-one, seem to thrive
long fortuitous way to drive
Without a destination
So, soulsearching and thinking hard
Where do I go from here, you bard
What is the purpose, goal, new start
How-to from now? |
