The Loud Speaker Poem by Indira Renganathan
The Loud Speaker
Big mouth his funneled music and speech
Into my ears to touch my heart which I cherish
Even today after decades many
Be it temple ritual or wedding or political speech
Or any function loud speaker would there embellish
With songs and speeches many
Big-mouth-speaker was loud in his voice to reach
All the hearts of the town where he did flourish
Today he's remembered by many
Humming all those heard and learnt songs so much
Today I miss him as in the city hubbub garish
He's gone dwindled by the din din many
You have vividly inscribed about the big loud speaker of the past and have brought the past memories. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Earlier big mouthed loudspeakers were quite common! Now they are replaced by enhanced sound amplifying devices. The loud speakers create nostalgic remembrance in us as we heard all our favorite songs through them! A beautiful poem that takes us back to the good old days!
The poem is set beautifully in triolets, and so is the rhyme system so unique. Loud speaker is the symbol of time, the spirit of time and few ceremonies are complete without it. Loud is the spirit of time, and not just in sound.
