Kash Poet Poet Senryu

My Maa Touches My Poems

My aged mother
she can't understand English...
feels my poems by touch

she touches the words
her frail fingers caressing...
smile in wrinkled face

'write a poem for me'--
'all the poems are yours my maa...
your grandchildren'





**My 100th poem here for someone so SPECIAL

Gwendolen Song May 14, 2011 at 2:30 PM Such a respectful piece here. Your mother demonstrates her love for you by JUST wanting to be near the things that bring ultimate joy to you. She sounds soooo precious and kind. Hold onto her frail hands for as long as you can and have her whisper the sweet secrets of her life into your ears. You are soooo blessed, poetess! Gwendolen

Rinki Nandy May 14, 2011 at 2:01 AM I like how you called your poems 'grandchildren', English is only a language nothing more what is valuable is her emotional touch and the smile on her wrinkled face. There must be a dedication in Bengali for her. And thank you for reading n leaving a gracious comment on my poem, have a happy summer.
