Alankar(Decor)-217 Poem by Indira Renganathan

A monostich has been described as 'a startling fragment that has its own integrity' and
'if a monostich has an argument, it is necessarily more subtle'.

A monostich could be also titled; due to the brevity of the form, the title is invariably as important
a part of the poem as the verse itself:

Some one line poems have 'the characteristics of not exceeding one line of a normal page,
to be read as one unbroken line without forced pauses or the poetics of ceasura',
and others having ' a rhythm, (as with one-line haiku) , dividing easily into three phrases'.

Monostich(Greek) is single line of verse, a poem in a single line. No structural limitation
other than the line itself.



1.Romantic Dawn

Disturbed ocean on her breast romancing with the rising sun.


2.No Atheists In The World

War between hunger-satan and food-God and all are for food-God only.


3. New Year's Birth

Sun is angry on next day's dawn at night
