At Basic Need

Boys washing cups and plates from dawn to dusk now sleep in moonlight A handful of twinkling stars on grass Dreams _____________________ April 21, 2017 Form N - Ninette or Nonet - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Broken Wings

Reminds me of the Chandrabindoo song "Chera ghuri rogin ball, ei tukui sombol, ar chilo roddure pawa bikel bela." I loved how you ended the poem Sir, leaves a lasting impression on the reader's mind.

Yes, I have listened it ... but do not remember the words ... Thank you for your appreciation of the poem ... I have left it open ended ... who knows if one of them will grow up to be a second APJ Abdul Kalam or not ...

You are really good at short forms, Probir - I am always impressed how much you can say and evoke with so few words, while leaving enough for the reader to ponder a bit afterwards. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Agnes ... It is always better to keep things understood ... no point in pointing out each tree in the woods ...
