In there, in that book of poetry,
Were unpredictable leaps.
To unknown sensations
And unforeseen lands.
Her fingers pry it open
With deliberate indiscrimination;
Anxious for her daily gift.
Will it be Pablo speaking off love,
Or Tennyson telling her about kings?
Or her life summed in four lines
Ironically attributed to “Anon”

what a lovely gift!!! and all the more better for reading that way.
Lovely!
for a second i thought your are writing about shreemoyee..:).
Oh, I love this, Parth!!! It reminds me of the time I was a subscriber to a "poem a day" site. I would open my e-mail expectantly never quite knowing if it would be a love poem, a poem of nature, a haiku...it was, just like you said, like opening a gift.
Really enjoyed reading this, thanks!
@Mystic Rose, Radha: Thanks :-)
@Pallavi: Really? We'll let Shreemoyee comment on the veracity of your theory :-)
@Lotus Reads: Though I never subscribed to a-poem-a-day, I used to follow AWAD (a word a day) very regularly in college, especially while preparing for my GRE. Used to thoroughly enjoy that.
yeah, even i was reminded of Minstrels' subscription (despite u saying 'her' fingers pried it open:)...
loved the last couple of lines...
Awesome !!! :)
Depends on the four lines I guess :)
@Frissko, Rags: Thanks :-)
@Shreemoyee: Seems like a good incentive for you pen them down :-)
Nice :)
