Poles Apart Yet.. Poem by Indira Renganathan

Poles Apart Yet..

Rating: 4.5


A too simple
Simply in simple dress
A calm and composed husband

Has a wife
Too talkative too sounding
Her too many glass bangles

Too much of fighting, sounding
Her flashy attire
Flashy bindi flashily sounding

Often her painted lips
Letting out a gargling laughter
A modernized lady thunder..

Thundering she goes out
Mindless to be at home often
Why? ..she's such a character

He and she are poles apart
But, despite the poles apart
Earth functions for her lifes

Now, think about why so much needed
For his kids a calm dad of good deeds

'too many glass bangles', 'flashy attire', 'Flashy bindi' and things of that sorts are the causes that put them poles apart. An excellent poem that can be comprehended from many angles! I liked this wonderful poem!

This earth offers vast space....the reserve bank has all the money! We forget the global resources but only keep on fighting for possessing more and more! Greediness brings all worries and troubles!

Indira, your astute poem so wonderfully sums up the adage: opposites attract. And: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Thoroughly enjoyed your poem, esteemed poetess!

Spouses, they work alongside each other to become the foundation that upholds the family. Indeed, as you correctly observed, they have vastly different personalities. Full *****

Still they dwell together and live on to raise their family. Good poem for unity in diversity.
