Portrait
Rema Prasanna
Oh! Grandmother, you did not live up to
Envisage the hand prints of a high tech era
Not even a television, the collective
Co product of one multihued world
Believed and feared snapshots
Would recede the span of life
Not even stood for one flawless picture
For me to keep aside
Oh! Grandmother, you walked past on the line of life
Leaving me to enlighten my inner vision to direct
A paint brush to create a memoir for you
A portrait, to place on the centre hall of our
Ancestral home, where you lived life in full
Incessantly radiating happiness
Poised forever, there inside that
Gilded frame, a lineage entranced in full
Ages and eras not enough to portrait
You in a picture frame however I place it as the
Treasured reminiscence of your life
Exquisitely crafted. You use your words well, to colour your fond memories. One of your best for me! You are blessed to feel so, and to present this tribute :)
I am always entranced by a wrirtten piece such as this. It is a form of prose that I call 'prose poetry '. It is the must lucious of things to read. Even more than true poetry, it is the essence of remembered communication. I treasure this, above all the creations of man's artistic talents. GW62
Very original warm poems... Here the reader sees deep and fine internal a life not only two, and several generation, a beautiful free verse... Also as you Lady Rema.... 10.... Tsira
Wow, you sellect and mix the words like charming herbs. The poem is very rich of ideas and humanity, warmth. Very well penned Rema!
I read many poems on grandparents, kith and kin. None evoked the kind of interest this poem has. Instantly I recalled my grandparents and my father. I always felt for a good photograph of my handsome father.Oh! Your poem touched the deepest parts of my heart! I'm unable to even stop tears. This is pain..this is nostalgia.
