A Helipad Nose And Some Laughter Poem by sreelekha premjit

A Helipad Nose And Some Laughter



The tall man
stood
stretched arms
looked down
smiled gently

craning her neck
the little girl
tried
to see the top of the mammoth-dost

knowing she wanted
to sit on his helipad nose
he bent
lifting her as he rose again
a giant, a gentle giant

crinkling his nose
squinting eyes
bellyfull of roars of laughter of the man
tinkle like shrill cries of the girl
and she was atop the helipad nose!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Madathil Rajendran Nair 20 January 2015

Sreekha-ji, this reminded me of the epic movie King Kong. Don't leave your perch on the helipad - the tip of the nose of the giant (or giantess - is there such a word?) called poetry. Well done. Again, you have drawn a beautiful picture with as few strokes as are minimum required. I am reading your other poems. Will return for sure with something to say.
