Awaited Poem by Nikunj Sharma

Awaited

Rating: 5.0


Hit on head, She sits firmly in place
Straight as an arrow, smiling
At the soulmate that fixed
her in place, with grace.

Stable, patient, waiting
Standing at one spot as
a lady of the night,
She waits to hook.


Quiet, as a royal guard
on standby, focussed
as a soldier aiming at the enemy.
Determined to see her day.

Rooted, committed to her abode
Coated, determined not to get
Rusted, wasted or torn away
Constant, in a variable world

Hard to avoid her gaze, no matter
How much I roam,
I shall come back to her,
as a portrait, after I am gone.

Nikunj nice poem well constructed with the quatrains. I’d make the last stanza a quatrain as well. There is no reason to separate the last words and the flow and read better connected to the intent. I don’t know if you want me to reveal your secret or not. But it is obvious to me, for something to be hooked. Even you portrait when gone. Good opening, The turning might be a tad misleading in the “gaze line”. I love the line committed to her abode. Good closing as well. Great writing. Man have you come a long way, in a couple of months. Your hard work at poetry has definitely paid off. This poem shows a great understanding of poetic metaphor and contextual flow while maintaining both sides of the metaphor. A great conceit or allegory. FANTASTIC! A poet friend RH Peat

Fine poem. Does the hooker hook you? In fantasy surely she does. Well done. Gershon
