English Poetry

 

 

Freedom from blood,

drained in mud,

it couldn’t live long,

neither pulled along.

 

The dirt blew red,

stains of it spread,

some wore it colored

and followed the word.

 

Blood pours for freedom

everytime though,

on vows of a mother

who never wished the stir.

 

Blood over the green valleys

kneeled on knees,

drenched in her son’s blood

weeps red, weeps dead.

    Dear All,

    This is quite a beautiful poem.
    I liked it, but it does show some struggle in its composition and evolution, more so because of you comment.
    I feel you are trying or struggling too hard to compose something better than what you naturally can and such expectations often puts a person in a disability mood. Just be natural without any expectation from yourself and let poetry find its way through you, for poetry has discovered talent in you. Also in such situation try reading and appreciating good poems of others and then soon your mood & inspiration returns.
    Felt like writing as above reading your comment, for most of us do go through such phases often and have to recover accordingly.

    A nice poem with the apt choice of words.
    May be lack of time causes a struggle like
    feeling in you. It’s only a passing phase.

    Ulhas my friend do not worry and do not fret
    It happens to us all I’ll bet
    If you have it and you surely do
    It will come right back to you
    I lost it for quite some time
    I’m now even sleeping in Ryme

    “weeps red, weeps dead”. very strong image.
    There is something about this verse that keeps me thinking
    “The dirt blew red,

    stains of it spread,

    some wore it colored

    and followed the word. ” following blindly or form idealism?
    This poem of yours in not as simple as it looks and brings me back to re-read. I could not comment until now.
