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 ____________________________________________ 2/1/2016 Not for contest

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 ...
