She..... Poem by Neela Nath Das

She.....

Rating: 5.0


She is selling shingles,
singly on the sea-shore!
Poverty-stricken, poor,
pauper and penniless.
Tittle-tattle turns
round like a ring
around anything
she simply earns.
Whirling of whim
turns timid a toy.
Pure-pearl plays no ploy.
This holiness horrors him.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
'Him' here refers to the symbol of a person who by scandalizing wants to control an innocent soul.

A nice SHE ! But why him at the end? Perhaps a typo error!
