Life Today Poem by Savita Tyagi

Life Today

Rating: 5.0


Life today
Made for TV. drama
Of rich and famous

A canvass
Painted with
Wide strokes

Shadowing
The nuances of individual
Pain and pleasure.

Than again
Was it ever any different
For the commoner?

Thank you Susan Williams. I too was an avid readers of Novels before I took to poetry. Now a days Muse of poetry is whimsical and moody. With aging eyes watching T.V. has become a little easy. However Drama of life is present in every outlet. Sometime amusing and sometime thought provoking.

Very interesting topic and question. I have to admit I am more interested in novels about the lower income people and their struggles- to me there is more grit and wisdom and lessons to learn from those stories. TV dramas do concentrate more on upper middle class and maybe the " richer" people and their financial and addiction tragedies- no wonder I like the Alone series
