Anisha Dutta Poet Couplet

Call of Distance

Call of Distance

                Distance mesmerizes
                Look close: Get surprises.

               Objects close or near-by
               mostly fail to catch eye.

               Things away always seem
               emitting shiny beam.

               Distant space attracts more.
               Astronauts to explore.

               Neighbor ocean ignored
              Aquanauts not adored.

              One-side  river-bank sighs
              'On other side joy lies.’

             Friend beside, right, precise 
             Yet not to realize.

             I traveled lot to see
             mountains, fountains and sea.

              Failed to appreciate
              beauty of dew droplet.

             Glistened on rose petal,
              glanced just accidental.
