☆ Poetry ☆
Very fragile are the
fingers of poetry
Extremely soft are the
palms of poetry,
Too balsamic are the
feet of poetry,
Velvety milky are the
Soles of poetry,
So milky that when they walk
Impressions of silky
couch-grass emerge on them…
You know,
Poetry is like a
-very delicate
-very charming
-very tender
Astoundingly beautiful
Amazingly voluptuous woman,
Was so teaching the teacher
In the adult education class…
That labourer woman
Kept watching silently
Her rough palms,
Bruised fingers,
Soiled feet,
Ulcered soles,
She felt like erupting and shout loudly-
Poetry lives in its time,
Converses with the factualism
Look, Mr Teacher!
Dealing with reality
is also a poetry!
