My Old Clock Poem by Sathya Narayana
My Old Clock
I love to teach
as well as
to get taught.
Isn't it so nice and funny
to be a master
and taunt a young innocent face
with whatever I learnt
in the fifty years
I did melt.
Isn't it
even more beautiful
in a lotus pose to squat
like an obedient pupil
on cold rocky floor
before a ripened scholar
with a clean slate
and a piece of chalk in hands
they mirroring
my ignorance dark
and solidified white resolve
to learn, learn and learn more
till stops
sans a warning
my old clock.
Wonderful concept....Being a pedagogue and being a learner for life time is dipicted in simple language.....voted 10++++++
teacher n the taught are shifting roles. i realise i'm a good learner while i teach!
A nicely talking piece...yes; learning is a continuous process and the wise give away what they learnt... Upanishad says- Avathu mAm..Avathu vakthAram- meaning the disciple and preceptor both be protected (by the Supreme Being) Age is a factor indeed! the Old Clock! Excellent pharasings inside...thanks...10
meaningful one....flows with great concept old clock as a symbol of life.... old clock as part of your great accomplishment in life.... symbolic......it has a way to touch readers' heart.... we teach and we learned...we grow from what we taught and from what we learned... When i reach that age....i want to write 'My old clock' too.... really, really significant.... thanks for sharing, Sir 10++++++ Lovelots, Maia
