  World Poetry Day Celebration at Lampshade Writers To celebrate World Poetry Day on 21st March, Lampshade Writers had an online poetry reading on 24th March (Sunday). Attendees could read their own poem or that of any other poet. Each recitation was followed by vibrant interactions. Here are some of the poems that were written and recited by the attendees themselves: Words Apart By Varun Dhingra Your words are many  Mine too few Your tirades, a gushing lava My rebukes, a settled due Your sentences flow like swollen rivers At the peak, of the monsoons My alphabets appear after ages Hidden Oasis, in a desert, of scorched silences Your exhortations, too powerful to control My musings, too humble to utter Your speeches build empires, make histories My disjointed thoughts, hide inside old books, like fading myths You scatter your words, to conquer the world I swallow mine, to arrest its fall You measure lives, in the balance of your words I measure my words as if  lives hang in balance upo
