Rama Balasubramanian Poet Tetractys

Steadfast Achieve Milestones

Four
police
escorting, 
a tomato
thrown at her, still she walks with a calm face, 
unperturbed by surroundings, determined 
to bring about 
a change for
good of 
all.

Eve Roper February 28, 2021 at 11:01 PM Rama, thank you for creating and entering my contest. Your poem brings out the image of the picture. Do visit my Double Tetractys 7 blog. Congratulations on your win. Hugs Eve Rama Balasubramanian February 28, 2021 at 11:27 PM Saw your blog. Didn't know that the girl wasn't aware, would have written differently. You said great imagery, so I tried to capture ful photo in poem. Thanks for the inspirational prompt. Have a blessed day ahead. Take care, Rama

Gershon Wolf February 16, 2021 at 5:46 PM Can't resist this one, Rama: If you remove the comma after the word 'tomato,' then you'll have "Four police escorting a tomato..." ~ The Nutty Professor Rama Balasubramanian February 16, 2021 at 6:04 PM Hahahaha! Good one Gerson. Thanks for the laugh. It brightens my morning. Requires special talents to notice that.

Beryl Edmonds February 14, 2021 at 12:09 AM Rama, I looked at the contest details and the choice of pictures and now understand what it’s all about. It’s a dreadful thing to have happened to an innocent little girl. Thankfully things have improved, we’re all equal in this world and should be treated equally... Belle Rama Balasubramanian February 14, 2021 at 3:18 AM The picture was so thought provoking that I had to write an Tetractys in it. Wanted to convey what painter wanted to say. I felt this was the message of painter. Took some time to write. Some contest topic awaken the poet in you and a poem flows from within. Take care Rama

That too from a great poet like you. I am overjoyed. Last time you commented on my tongue twister I won first prize. Let's see. God bless! Take care, Rama

Beryl Edmonds February 13, 2021 at 7:57 AM Excellent Double Tetractys Rama, what an incredible job police and policewoman do and what a lot they have to endure... Best wishes, Belle Rama Balasubramanian February 13, 2021 at 10:07 AM You gave a new dimension to it. See the contest photo in case you haven't. Not many will write about police, but police do a tough job and only because of them girl is calm. Thanks for the wonderful comments. God bless! Take care, Rama

Krish Radhakrishna February 13, 2021 at 7:52 AM Nice write Rama. Who is this about? It could be Shashikala in Tamil Nadu! Rama Balasubramanian February 13, 2021 at 10:03 AM Yes it could infact be! and not only her every corrupt leader or business man trying to prove he is innocent. Take care Rama
