"Poems from the Northeast" (2001):** This anthology, edited by Temsula Ao, showcases the diverse voices of poets from Northeast India, highlighting the region's rich literary landscape.......write some poems....

In the land where mountains embrace the sky,

A tapestry of stories, whispers of the shy.

In Assam's tea gardens, where echoes linger,

Songs of the river, a poetic river.

Nagaland's hills adorned with tales,

Warrior chants, resilience prevails.

Manipur's dance in moonlit grace,

Nature's poetry, an eternal embrace.

Mizoram's whispers through bamboo leaves,

A symphony of silence, a poet conceives.

Meghalaya's clouds weave dreams untold,

Raindrop verses, a silver unfold.

Arunachal's sunrise paints the sky,

Canvas of hues, where eagles fly high.

Sikkim's rhododendrons, a vibrant rhyme,

Mountainous verses, standing through time.

Tripura's rhythms in tribal dance,

Ancient verses, a cultural trance.

In "Poems from the Northeast," voices intertwine,

A literary journey, where emotions shine.

Through Manipur's valleys, blooms the iris rare,

Petals whisper tales, carried on the air.

In Nagaland's Hornbill Festival's grandeur,

Unity in diversity, a vibrant tenor.

Assam's Brahmaputra, a flowing ode,

Bardic verses, along its abode.

Mizoram's serenity in hills of blue,

Lullabies of peace, in twilight's hue.

Arunachal's forests, a verdant quill,

Wilderness whispers, secrets spill.

Meghalaya's root bridges, nature's art,

Poems etched in vines, a bridge to heart.

Sikkim's monasteries echo chants,

Prayers sculpted in syllabic dance.

Tripura's palaces, stories unfold,

Time-traveling verses, ages old.

In the anthology's embrace, diverse and grand,

Northeast's poems, etched in the sand.

Temsula Ao, the guide through this rhyme,

A curator of voices, frozen in time.

With each page turned, a rhythmic journey unfurls,

Whispers of the hills, tales of the pearls.

A mosaic of cultures, traditions so bright,

Threads of unity weaving through the night.

From Mizoram's hills to Manipur's dales,

Echoes of resilience in poetic trails.

A symphony of languages, a linguistic dance,

In the anthology, each voice has a chance.

Arunachal's twilight, a canvas of gold,

Poets' musings, timeless stories told.

Meghalaya's rain, a gentle embrace,

Verse by verse, in a tranquil space.

Sikkim's yaks graze on poetic meadows,

A landscape of words, where inspiration grows.

In Tripura's temples, silent prayers linger,

Verses whisper, poets' quills trigger.

"Poems from the Northeast," a celebration grand,

Of landscapes, cultures, a poetic strand.

Happy anniversary, one year strong,

May these verses echo, forever along.
