The good kind of madness by nainasays

It was a good kind of madness
Getting high In the August rain
Dancing soaking wet in your porch
And then getting high again
It was a good kind of madness
The midnight […]

I love how vivid your poems are. They paint such beautiful pictures. I swear I could hear the thumping of the Norman drums. Thank you for the beautiful tour. My imaginations had a fun time!!

nainaSays commented on the post, Acrostic Twofold by Jane Bradshaw 1 month, 3 weeks ago
What a contrast! Alyssa sounds amazing 💖💖.
The second acrostic is a mirror to what life is when it is bounded by other people’s expectations. Afraid. Afraid of keeping up with those expectations, afraid of letting those wings fly, afraid of even putting your thoughts across. Just afraid.
Love your work always -

Beautiful beautiful poem. The last line touches my heart deeply. How you make drowning sound soothing. Fantastic job

Hi Jane. Thanks for stopping by. Both the acrostics are my name. Swati is what the world calls me and Naina is my pen name. I did mention that but can’t see it now.

Smothered by my love
Weary of my possessiveness
Afraid of a commitment
Terrified by my desire
Inconspicuously you disappeared!!#2
No, I can’t let you go yet
And I can’t let you […]-
I’m sensing this reflects some kind of reflections about what a commitment to a relationship entails. There is a dark overtone all around it that I find alluring and familiar even. An intriguing poem, Naina. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Hi Naina, a very deep and emotive poem indeed. I am just curious about your beginning letters. Number 2 I think spells your name but Number One I can’t work out, SWATI ? But if I forget about that it is a very well written poem:) Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hello Naina
It’s lovely how you told the long story of a complicated relationship in such few lines. Your writing is beautifully charged with an array of emotions, and there’s a lot of music in there.

Thank you!

Hello Swati / Naina,
This is quite enigmatic but I like the beginning of the second acrostic where the two lines almost, but not quite, repeat. Very effective.-
Thank you for stopping by ☺️

You sure are gifted with the ability to rhyme. Your poem is so rhythmic and fun to read out loud. I loved it. Somehow my mind erected an image of Johnny Depp tap dancing and reciting this poem. Wonderful

This one so far is my favorite. Great word working, (if that is actually a thing lol)
I enjoyed your poem.

Wow! That’s a big compliment. Thank you.

This is great, Naina. You have some memorable lines in there. My favourite is: ‘Freedom of speech tongue tied’. Great stuff.
-
Thank you ❤️

This poem resonates (sadly). I like the rhyme scheme a lot with this because my soul wants to look for an ABAB partner but just like the world, it’s not the simple. And then the line about freedom of speech being tongue tied was great. Good job.

Thank you❤️

This is a powerful poem Naina. Short but still thought provoking. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Thank you Jane

Hello Naina,
Wow, what a powerful poem. One of my favorite lines is “Sadist ogres stand onguard”. Something about the rhythm throughout that I just love. Well done.-
Thank you❤️

This was a light, fun read. I admit I winced when I read “the night before the exam” — clever! Thanks for sharing. -Becky
Oh those half baked potatoes! Good memories wrapped up in this poem. They do seem to shine, in retrospect, don’t they? Well done.
This was a fun poem to read and puts me in the mind of YA and nostalgia of course. Going down memory lane, thoughts of what we used to do. 😉 Lots of good times in life especially when we can share those times with someone. Bring on the wine please.
Very enjoyable poem Naina. I loved the repetition of “It was a good kind of madness”, as it keeps the fun going and gives the piece a good pacing along with the rhyme.
You paint a great story of joy and youthful memories.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
‘Lots of laughter with a dash of whine’ – I love it. This took me right back to uni days. Your rhythm is so good and bouncy.
Best wishes for the festive season and I look forward to reading more of your poetry in 2021.
