Wanderilla
This was a divergent, soaked in insouciance. Broke the wretched shoe on the way back home, Chasing the galloping horses away from the bucolic castle.

Bejewelled
Let me adorn your neck Not with gold, silver or pearl But with beads of teardrops Diligently collected before they could cascade on my pillow. What more precious can befit your neck, that was once encircled within my two little arms Wound tightly by the strength of love Almost breaking […]

Inevitably, because of constant comparison with the face-to-face classes, where there are students, teachers, school staff, librarians… a whole community, and quite a […]
