A Janaku is a short, three-line poem with a distinct structure: Line 1: One word, Line 2: Two words and Line 3: Three words. This poetic form doesn't require a specific rhyme or syllable count, allowing for creative freedom. This form was invented by Eileen Tabios, a Filipina poet, and inaugurated on June 12, 2003. This style enables poets to convey emotions and ideas in a concise yet meaningful way.

The Magic of Translation : Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer

When she translates my poems into her mother tongue, She captures the essence of my words so true, She translates my emotions, my deepest sighs, And brings my heart to life in her own guise. I think when she translates my work with care, She sits within my heart, with love to share. She captures me, my words, my feelings, my soul, And brings them forth in a language that makes me whole. When we meet face to face someday, I'll ask her, with a curious way: "Are you a magician, with a special might?" "Or is your heart a kindred spirit, connected to mine in sight?" [The poem is a heartfelt tribute to the exceptional talent and dedication of Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić, a renowned Serbian translator and dear friend. Her remarkable ability to translate poetry has not only bridged cultural divides but also forged a deep bond between us. With profound admiration and gratitude, I dedicate this poem to her.] - Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer  (Editor: Micropoetry Cosmos) Fatehpur, U...

The Lone Warrior, a Poem in Serbian by Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer & Translated from English by Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić

USAMLJENI RATNIK Nebo podrhtava Sunce je užasnuto Moje ime je na svakoj, najsitnijoj čestici stvaranja. Mukla tišina vlada. Osvojio sam vaskoliki svijet. Ipak, tako sam usamljen dok lutam u potrazi za njom svuda, u svim pravcima! Bez nje, sve moje pobjede su bez svrhe, bez cilja, beskorisne, besmislene, bez značenja!! Ne želim ja cijeli svijet; Želim samo da ona bude sa mnom!!! © Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer Fatehpur/UP/India  [Translated into Serbian by Prof. Ljiljana Samardžić, Novi Sad, Serbia] THE LONE WARRIOR The sky is shaking The sun is horrified My name is  on each and every particle of creation Pin-drop silence prevails I've conquered the whole world, Yet I'm so lonely Wandering in search of her  in all directions! Without her, all victories are purposeless pointless useless senseless  meaningless!! I don't want the whole world; I wish she'd be with me!!!
