Twinkling Whispers

These are random poems which convey simple messages much like hashtags do in a century where people have stopped communicating entirely with the people around them and are gratifying themselves with the overwhelming amount of content on the internet. Although used mainly for promotion, the hashtag has also become a way of expression with a distancing effect in a time where words are saturated, sentences are too long and clichéd phrases are used to attract an audience, to share and spread content. My interest lies in the peculiarity of the communication through the internet where we "like" and "react" to empathize with one and hundreds, and short and sweet is the way to go when we communicate in a world of hackneyed experiences.

In my poems, I have consciously tried to explore the distancing technique which had been recommended by T.S. Eliot. My attempt has been to balance emotion and indifference in my expressions so that the poems don't break down into absolutely personal musings.

I hope my poems which are dedicated to my respected readers will provide entertainment for them. Thank you.
