I'm so pleased to learn that Caribbean writer and critic Nicholas Laughlin's number one choice in the Global Voices Valentines Day poetry contest was my favorite as well!
Madam, I am 28, single is by our South Asia editor Neha Viswanathan, a very talented and very original writer.
Here it is:
Madam, I am 28, single.
I live alone, and nobody
has my Orkut password.I have never had a girl
friend. Madam, I think
I am lonely. Are you?Scrap me with your
ladyfingers. On IM we
will profess online love.Don’t tell me you are
married. Does not say so
on your very public profile.On Valentine, I hunt for
empty scrap books. I am
finding your lovely self Madam.
Congratulations Neha!
At our next summit, we need a talent contest. Seriously!
Thanks Rmack!
