Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

Who Are You

Who are you





A fragrant breeze
to be felt close,
The sweetest red rose
cuddling its origin,
Kindest of heart
that has a healing touch,
Reflector to sunshine 
and nurture positive mind,

All what I am not
and just trying to be..

But surely I am ...
a nature lover
Pleading to preserve its beauty,
a human being
Far from hatred just caring,
a heart that believes
In equality for all life,

Longing for ...
peace and not wars,
no discrimination to colour 
caste and religion,
no exploitation or killing,

Am I a theoriser
an idealist or an escapist ?
For readers to decide ...

Timothy Hicks April 7, 2016 at 9:12 PM I haven't checked out the winner's list, but it looks like this did well! Great bio poetry here, Upma. Tenderly crafted with beautiful inner feelings. "Am I a theoriser an idealist or an escapist? For readers to decide ..." ... your open-ending was thoughtful too. A pleasure to read.

Robert Stoner Jr April 7, 2016 at 8:12 PM Congratulations Dr U on a most enjoyable work. I especially enjoyed your form and presentation as much as your message. The read is economical of word but most rich in message, well done. I must say you validated my impression of you, that's a good thing :0)
