Matryoshka Poem Poem by Jasbir Chatterjee

Poem 1
Like homeless people,
Poetry turns up,
Quite unexpectedly
At the most unlikely places,
At the most inopportune time...

Poem 2
Recently,
While crossing a busy road,
My gaze fell on a beautiful sunset
And poems began brewing in my mind.
Here they are now.

Poem 3:
For one moment, the traffic stood still.
The Metro rails paused
To catch their breath.
The pedestrians scurried about.
But the Sun did not stop.

Poem 4
Relentlessly,
It carried on
Its daily parade
With great fanfare
In its lovely, orange attire…

Poem 5
Perspective is so terribly cunning.
With its constantly changing shades, angles,
Bends and curves;
Look at this pic here and see how it makes Tiny look Mighty
And Mighty look Tiny.

Poem 6:
Truth, on the other hand, is so terribly truthful.
Like Neem.
Bitter, cutting, scathing,
But honest, clean;
Cleanses you from within...
