Quest Continues



An autumn leaf
while floating on a stream
asks, "Where does freedom galore?"

An adrift bubble
while riding on a wave
asks, "Would I reach the shore?"

The gentle breeze
while touching young leaves
asks, "When I would go to stop?"

A gliding cloud
while roaming all around
asks, "When I would reach the top?"

The autumn sky
unfolding its beauty says, "Hi!"
and asks," Where all the questions go?"

The stars - all those shine
ask winking their eyes,
"Why do you want to know?"

(C) Anindya Mohan Tagore (Bobby)

An excellent first attempt. Off a bit on syllable count. I'll use your third to demonstrate. "a gliding cloud" line one no capital and four syllables. "journeys across sky" five syllables no capital letter at start. "will it's tears touch parched ground" third line no capital and six syllables. I hope this helps. Thanks for giving it a try, much appreciated.
