Confused insect
running in concentric circles
The corner of sealed
packet severed from its body
Short leg of a table
being called stumpy by it’s brothers
The last drop of
shower just too late to touch the body
I know how you feel.
A spider’s work of
life treated as dust
The strand of hair
losing its place
The screw’s lovely
blush mistaken for rust
The weed pulled out
for its genus and race
I know how you feel.
Time and again,the black-board
unapologetically being erased
The balloon about to
be pricked into a vaporous tomb
The words smudged by
salty-drops in a letter, unposted
An apple’s core with
its dying children in its womb
I know how you feel

ReplyDeleteThank You. :)
DeleteHow do you come up with outstanding metaphors like "The corner of sealed packet severed from its body" ?
ReplyDeleteAnd your rhyming sense is laudable.
You mock at the world in a very subtle manner, that half of the mediocre brains find it difficult to grasp and in fact will praise you for mocking at them, if they read your stuff.
Long way to go. Keep writing :)
