“Intertrigo” by Boghos Artinian MD

   Posted by: admin   in Poetry

Skipper, newly licensed,
planning for a pleasant sail
to the Greek islands
with someone who mustn’t
see intertrigo  in his groins!
‘Doctor! I must be cleared
of this chronic pest
within ten days’. ‘OK’ I say:
‘take one griseofulvin a day—
five hundred milligrams,
copiously powder your groins,
in the mornings, with Daktarin
and rub Lotriderm cream
in the evenings. If that doesn’t
clear your intertrigo
By the time you set sail,
nothing will.
And in that case do not
show her your groins!’

Something Unusual

   Posted by: apexaprajapati   in Poetry

I heard a known voice in the dark…
Behind a shadow I embarked…
Somehow, I felt I was safe…
But was I ever so brave?
Brave to blindly follow?
Or a slave to just swallow…
Swallow every word I heard….
Swallow the fog as if it’s cleared…
Where did it lead me to?
A world so new…
With the sky above blue…
With the space filled with light…
And then I realized…
I followed the voice which was mine…
To my own shadow, myself I assigned…
