Lady Sultana

In the invited place she got precious gift as new guest After derived back to home it made her unhappy fest The temple deity was floating on her sight without mist To forget she exorcised with betel leaf the west to east She come to her son child and kissed him delightfully And went to bed with fear thru anger on all silently Whole night no one come to wish her a peaceful sleeping After daybreak she got no sunlight on path of greeting “Married life is not blessings” she cursed life saying this “If no one replies walk alone” she sang the song in peace But the biting cold of winter made her mad to coolness She thought nature is against her also in mocking grace No tears she wanted to devout to the stone of the deity At last the gift she sacrificed to the fire of wounded angry ©Mahtab Bangalee Chattogram 12/01/2023 Metrical Tale Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Hilo Poet
