A bend in the road

To admire Florence’s landscape

I slow down my car

Flitting Butterfly – Poem by Anita Bacha

You will never find another love like mine,

The flitting butterfly has an eye for the frail beauty of flowers,

Hovering snootily contemplating his kill;

The flowers are not insensate to the beauty of the ladylove,

Enriched in voluptuous colors,

Perfumed with the choicest fragrances,

They flaunt their bewitching loveliness,

In the offing, to drug him in a deep drowsiness;

Confused in the variety of choices,

The beau flutters his wings,

Heaves a sigh!

I love you all, my ravishing dames! he cries;

Swelling buds ready to break their lavish folds,

Waning roses ready to die,

Dancing, flirting frivolously,

Under the blueness of the summer sky

You will never find another love like mine

CLARITY – A TANKA POEM by Anita Bacha

This morning I look

At my face in the mirror

I see the wrinkles

Like clarity of pure water

The beauty of growing old

Poetry – Quote by Anita Bacha

I didn’t choose poetry, poetry chose me.

Anita Bacha.

I started to write poetry at the age of eleven and I have continued to do so for decades till today, having survived both breast cancer and the pandemic.

A few years ago, aging and a gradual and sudden worsening of my physiological condition hit me very hard. I thought I would give up poetry and writing altogether and seek refuge in gardening.

Poetry called me. I attended the Jaipur Literary Festival 2025 with my son Toshu . He followed me out of love.

I realized how a fortunate mother I was when I slipped and fell under the shower and Toshu rushed to my rescue. Diagnosed with severe injuries in the right shoulder, I spent the rest of my stay in Jaipur in a hotel room bed with a quill and with the passion of my life, my poetry.

Many thanks for spending some of your precious time with me, dear friends and readers.
