She wrote me
On mud-walls
In colours delible
And then
Prayed for rain!

Great, great, great! A big applause...it's really a part and the end of a long story. A climax indeed.

Climax or anti climax? At the end I feel more of the anti-climax...food for thought here also.

A very fine little poem: an old story told in a fresh image. This is a jewel, both for the writer and the translator.

Another excellent write - so typical of today when love and pain thereof is a passing game for some

its really a long story told in a few words. it evokes rural images i am so familiar with. tThe pain, transient nature of relationships, break up all expressed so vividly like a painting in words. In spite of myself I even smiled at your choice of metaphors... Mamta
