The Missing Wind Poem by prasanna kumari

The Missing Wind

Rating: 5.0


Tired of bloodshed and battle
Rape and riot, killing and carnage
The missing wind rattle
‘I am in search of peace’-or to hide

Crushed by womanliness
Chased by flowers for stolen fragrance
Kissed by waves for tickling
Coercing the clouds, uprooting
the enormous sky
Gathering dreams, borrowing sorrows
Shaping hopes, hoping to shape
Reaping ripples, reveling in melodies
Hidden by sobs, hugged by laughter
Weighing bonds, winnowing ignorance
Heavy with despair, heaving confusion
Reflecting sweet nothings, revealing
bitter atrocities
Reaching to future, trying to nurture
Disguised.......
Silver air, golden air, green air, dark air, blue air
On the mountain breast, in the meadow’s mind
Below the ravine’s murmur, beneath
the anklet of streams
On the chirping landscape, over the flapping
Cascade
Above the mysterious cliff, amidst mystic twilight
Running, running, running.......
To find peace
Like I in search of me!

Quite an interesting piece, prasanna...lots of stellar imagery incepted here...i f i could just make one duggestion.your piece began with a poignant, rhythm pattern, marsalled by the rhyming scheme, however, after the opening verse you aborted the rhyme pattern & converted the work into a more proselike creation...Perhaps that finePoetic Rhyming pattern hould have prevailed. Regardless, nice work...'''''''''''''''''''''''''FJR

I voted a 10 and then came down here to repeat your words........On the mountain breast, in the meadow’s mind......... Below the ravine’s murmur, beneath the anklet of streams........ On the chirping landscape, over the flapping Cascade......... Above the mysterious cliff, amidst mystic twilight Running, running, running.............. To find peace....... Like I in search of me! I do not think I can forget these words for a long long time to come back. VERY Artistic.
