Let There be Light

I love poems that rhyme!

i feel sorry for that kid man...

ummmm.....

sucha thoughtful post farah, how can it not be great?

I'm really sad whenever i am reminded of dat kid.
I hope he has a pain-free life ahead of him.
Atleast he's with his relatives....
:(

And hey! I thought you had a post for me on my bday.
:x
And you're not following my Blog
:xx

the kid is so cute man...poor thing had to go through so much at this age

lovely poem farah..but its sad that we r being forced to write such posts in d first place... :(

"shame faced earth wept tears of blood!"

By far, the most talented blogger I have come across. You will go a long long way.

And yes, this pat for the poet (and not for the poem) is intentional, not that I am belittling Moshe's story but I wish to stay away from that and appreciate your talent instead.

great stuff... there... beautiful...

loved the poem.
but hate the cause of course.
wonder when there will be light?

The petals' last broken embrace
The gossamer's powdered last do grace
Shrouding their last in specks of mud
Shame-faced earth wept tears of blood !!!!!!!!


Ultimate best...
The kid's troubles..man..you got them so well written..

I read your previous work today, I think the last one I read before coming back - Mourning

Have you tried to break free from this lyrical style of writing? When I first got acquainted with poetry. It was through the school books in India, poems that I had to memorize sonnets and what not. They all usually rhymed. I'm not saying you have to. But it's always nice to try other styles, sorta free yourself from this one way track.

But have you tried to read the works of Tagore?

from his book The Gardener :

"Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet.
If the wreath is not woven, who cares; if the wrist-chain has not
been linked, let it be.
The sky is overcast with clouds--it is late.
Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet."

or Mary Oliver, considered one of America's Modern poets,

"Did you too see it, drifting, all night, on the black river?
Did you see it in the morning, rising into the silvery air -
An armful of white blossoms,
A perfect commotion of silk and linen as it leaned
into the bondage of its wings; a snowbank, a bank of lilies,
Biting the air with its black beak?
Did you hear it, fluting and whistling
A shrill dark music - like the rain pelting the trees - like a waterfall
Knifing down the black ledges?
And did you see it, finally, just under the clouds -
A white cross Streaming across the sky, its feet
Like black leaves, its wings Like the stretching light of the river?
And did you feel it, in your heart, how it pertained to everything?
And have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
And have you changed your life?"

That's well written. You have the talent in writing poems, by having the child as the subject. Keep it up. :)

i feel sorry for Moshe... but am glad he made it...
