Hope and Despair

When my own shadow
is making mockery about me
my heart is running away from the borders of Hiroshima

Keepiing the vibrations of my heart
in a polythene cover,in the nursery of my life
I feel like to grow the plants of experiences

Every problem I face
is just like a poetry with complicated rhythms
desperately I am remained as unsuccessful poet

The waves of Ocean
while touching the sky
somewhere a ray of hope is sparkling
in the rainbow of my life

While I was looking into the space
counting the stars in the sky
like a ' Neil Arm Strong'
I feel like roaming on the land of Moon.


This is a Telugu poem ' asha and nirasha' penned down by me in 1999.Transalated into english , of course not literally.

This is a good message and a very nice concept. Contrasting nature with what is deoplorable. Very good write.

I understand the complications of English but most poets will be able to see past that and understand what you have written quite well. This is excellent work. Continue to write what you feel and expand through your thoughts. Do the best you can as Sandie mentioned. Peace be with you.

P.S.

Sorry! Your 3rd stanza has given me the thought-provoking ramblings of my previous posts.

Hope I didn't confuse you.

Poetry is a form of expression from the poets hearts.

I hate poems with structure and form but no feelings whatsover - like eating a perfectly cut sandwich WITHOUT the miracle whip.

I'll eat a deformed mouth watering sandwich anytime.

.....and reading poetry is of no exception. Many successful poets write from their own hearts and souls, that's what makes great poetry.

My own quote of the day:

my own quote of the day:


People who live by the rules
have nothing to offer to themselves
except for being dragged by the nose
in obedience of the others
