(Trigger: A recent blogpost on the protagonist's iland)

Mana the maniac, is out on a prowl-
Whipped -up appetite
After a month-long sabbatical;
Her armoury replenished
The ammunition all loaded;
Woa! Is she raring to go!

   As one and all conjectured
   On her sudden disappearance
   (Even the twin was not spared
   A gruelling interrogation!)
   She kept everyone guessing
   And quietly retreated
   To recharge her batteries
   With non-biodegradable fuel!

But not a beat did she miss
Nor a word escaped her
When she edited her masterpiece
For the mother of all stings!
And how she arrives-
Bless her,the hearthrob of the iland-
With one deft stroke
She's rounded up the miscreants;
Brickbats for the defaulters,
Accolades for the performers!
  
   Like a wild forest fire
   The word spreads around;
   She's back! She's back!
   Nischal beckons all
   Only to realise, lo!She's already
   Mobbed by jubilant fans-
   Singing, clapping & dancing
   Celebrating her long-awaited return
   Like the pre-monsoon shower 
   On scorched, parched earth.

She's on cloud nine
Like the rest of the gang;
Laden like the monsoon clouds-
Dark and foreboding-
A harbinger of copious outpourings
That will sprout many dormant seeds
(Yours truly included!)
Bring forth bright blossoms
To cheer up many a  heart.
Yes! Maverick Mana is back with a bang!

...Udita.....arising from hibernation.
