Poem
I thought poetry is -name of Mesopotamia which was the first civilization to emerge in human history -ancient cave peoples surviving life struggle I thought poetry is -an immortal love story of Yousuf- Zulekha, Shirin-Farhad, Laila-Majnu or Romeo-Juliet -a telephonic or open love conversation of smiling postmodern girls -drying wet colorful clothes of beloved in the courtyard of the house -haring of beloved with tuberose garland before a mirror I thought poetry is -lizards chirping from the deserted house; cockroach flying -quarrelsome cats in the black dark or barking dogs -the struggle of mosquito for human blood -traveling of the arrogant indecent animals all over the night I thought poetry is -thrilling venturous ghostly stories of J. K. Rowling -self-expression of known-unknown writers -unspoken tale of a war-wounded soldier -the regret of the thousands of dead soldiers -the unwritten fantasy of an isolated poet -the lonely guitar or ektara of dead singers I thought poetry is -without reel tie an independent flying of a kite in the sky -in the blue sky sovereign flapping of birds -movement of invisible winds everywhere -hearing story of fairytale crossing of green forest I thought poetry is -handmade airing of newly married girl to a new groom in lunch time -dyed hands of nubile girls by mehndi, -captivating sounds of jingling anklet and kamarband of dancing damsels I thought poetry is -classic music of Pandit Ravi Shankar -immortal tune of Ustad Bismillah Khan's shehnai -compilation of humanitarian lyrics of the legend Bob Marley -heart touching reciting of the Holy Quran of Qari Abdul Basit I thought poetry is -unforgettable philosophical discussion of Socrates with his disciples -the philosophic lineage of learning such as Socrates-Plato-Aristotle -immortal scientific creations of Newton, Galileo, Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Hawking I thought poetry is -unremitting prayer or worship of any prevailed religion devotee to get heaven -inhuman history of bombing on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki or brutality of 1st or 2nd World War These all are just my thinking, my thinking is free on my path but poetry is poetry, more than any thinking, many more; on its path Poetry is independent fully -June 27, 2019 Chattogram
