Evening Orange

Oranges are always lovely
Nestling unknowable dreams
But they never come to you obligingly 
You need to have a heart genuine 

The evening clouds in the sky
Have raised colours of hushed height 
I perceive some salted stimuli
Of possible oranges in sight

But what actually comes
Is a splash of orange light
Asking me how are my lungs
The cranes in their homeward flight 

Are then the orange seasons gone
Those tickling smells of paradise
A flock of fireflies in the lawn
One by one the stars arise

I think a bit of this beauty got lost in translation Probir.I am not sure but I think I understand. I believe you are looking at nature with a Poet's eye which is the same way I am looking at this lovely poem. 7 ; )

No ... about lack of beauty I've nothing to complain, as I am conscious of my limitations but regarding your fixation on 'translation' l must repeat my earlier reply to your similar comment that none of my English poems are in translation in any way, and all are absolutely original poems. You have revealed your contradiction yourself. If two poets look the same way, think in same language and write in same language too, then both write the same poem. How will variety emerge? ... But for 7, sincere thanks ... For literary arguments , welcome always through soup mail ...
