Nandita Das Poet Rhyme

I Have a Dream

A great storm was brewing
Large numbers queuing

Thunderstorms rolling, lightning blazed
Throngs of people held spellbound, amazed

Trees swayed with arms raised
Nature too had joined in praise

Sceptics unable to accord him such praise
It was Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" address.
