A Creeper Amongst Large Trees Poem by Akhtar Jawad
A Creeper Amongst Large Trees
I saw a creeper slowly rising up, satisfied with the place,
Surrounded by great and proud large trees, in a garden of grace.
From the foot of a tower, having white fragrant flowers,
The lovely high tower saved her from the showers,
From the frightening thunders of a black dense cloud.
And the great large trees, with their grandeur and proud,
Were laughing on the creeper so weak and soft,
They were thinking, heat strokes will burn her craft.
The humble, weak and feeble creeper, a victim of visitors' oversight,
Was never found resting, sleeping, she went on creeping,
She went on, went on, slow but sure, not crying or weeping,
And soon came the day, she was dancing on the top of the tower,
Spreading and dispersing white flowers round the tower.
And God was smiling on the proud of big names now drowned in shame,
Still humble was she, at all not affected by name and fame.
Slow but steady wins the race.... One day at last comes with the grace............
An image of modesty is this creeper, never boasts of anything she deserves.But, ultimately wears the crown.So nice pictorial quality!
it was a beautiful poem. i liked it for it's simplicity and it's message. a delightful creation. keep writing.
Dear Teacher, I regret you don't understand Urdu and can't enjoy the following lines: - Sare tasleem kham hay Jo mizaje yar mein aaye. (My head is bowed with complete submission, my friend is at liberty to do any thing with it.) I agree with you and I have changed disbursing into dispersing. You are great as usual, thanks.
Interesting poem from your pen..Very true said, creepers are humble may be they are dependent on the proud trees that stood tall. Still the creepers did rise from ground to the top.......
Was never found resting, sleeping, she went on creeping, She went on, went on, slow but sure, not crying or weeping, And soon came the day, she was dancing on the top of the tower, Spreading and disbursing white flowers round the tower. Enjoyed these lines immensely.... You have succeeded in graphically describing the course of the creeper's journey into the summits!
