English Poetry |
Incessant hovers ,
a turbulence and a drop,
but attention sours.
With increased pace,
catches up again
and decides to chase.
With sustained effort
and no fear of defeat.
The trigger,
for this vigor ?
The target quantified
and accepted ?
Deadline calculated?
All parameters documented?
Periodically audited?
Process certified?
Defying such definitions,
not willing to cease,
She continues the chase.
It’s a matter of sustenance..

Kanchana,
sounds like a hawk with a business degree 🙂
We chase many things as we choose. The poem takes the reader into events.
Sometimes, perhaps in hard economic times, the thing that once gave satisfaction becomes a grind of necessity.
The second last verse feels as if the skill and beauty of the chase now counts for little or nothing,

@Gion Gion, The poem was indeed conceived after seeing a chase event in the sky(long time back).Thanks very much for your delighting comments.
Very meaningful impacting poem indeed.
Liked very much
commends…
It is always said that the process is if not more equally important than the end result but in effect today every one goes only by end results.
The authorities who lay down the procedures are the ones who are most responsible for flouting these. In this situation, a sincere honest intelligent individual who believes in proper process for acquiring the end result has to keep sustaining his enthusiasm and work for the results in chaos, in spite of chaos, using all his acumen at command and remain happy. In fact that is what is expected of intelligent individuals today.
@Vishvnand, Heartfelt thanks Vijay Sir , for cracking the crux of the poem,which every individual(as described by you) would accept with grace.
A poem of a different kind.
Liked it very much,Kanchana.
@medhini, Thanks very much Valli ma’m for liking it.:-)
@kanchana,
Fine grip of balanced words & taut sentences depicting the game of one -up-man-ship in the race-race world of our times.

@kusumgokarn, Thanks very much Kusum Ma’m 🙂
Hi
a good composition . a certain ambiguity …who is she —the target or the trigger-puller ?
sarala
@SARALA KURUP JAGAN, She(woman and/or men ) is the hawk working for sustenance.
