Final Call: Celebrate the Power of Teaching in 'To My Beloved Teacher' Anthology

Writers' Kalam Publishing is proud to present the upcoming anthology To My Beloved Teacher, a heartfelt initiative launched to honour teachers and mentors who have left an indelible mark on our lives. This anthology aims to provide the student community — and the wider circle of writers — an opportunity to express gratitude towards those guiding lights who helped shape their journeys. At the heart of every meaningful life story stands a teacher — someone who, knowingly or unknowingly, lights the path ahead. Teaching is far more than the transmission of knowledge; it is an intricate art, a delicate craft, and a profound science. True teachers don't just teach — they inspire, transform, and empower.

My Poetic Hiatus: A Poem by Santosh Meher



My Poetic Hiatus


I am sure that these days
I'm facing a writer's block,
It seems I've completely
lost all my poetic stock!!

My poetic hiatus has now
become very long drawn,
God only knows where
All my thoughts have gone

Words somehow refuse
to orchestrate in my brain;
And any forced attempt
also seems to be in vain

Is it that all my poetic
inclination has saturated?
Or that my creativity has
magically evaporated?

If I sit to write something
I end up totally blank;
It feels as if I'm dealing
with an insolvent bank

All my mental prodding too
seems to be of no use;
It is as if my creative brain
is now in a state of disuse

Life without any poetry
is undoubtedly no good;
It is as worst as eating
insipid, boiled, bland food

I now begin to feel that I've
depleted all my creativity;
It appears that now I have
lost all my poetic ability

Then suddenly I realise
I haven't lost my drive;
What I've penned is poetic
-Wow, my art is still alive!
