Windows Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Windows

Rating: 5.0


Wind makes them talk
Rain breaks their sleep
When sorrow nags at you
Suffocating your soul
You just have to open them
Gaze out to feel your blood flow
To know there's life still
Moving in the street
Where playing children' voices float
And a car rushes by
Honking to clear its way
And when you must shut all the doors
For you don't want the world
To probe your wounds
Or to throw a volley of questions at you
At that hour you can always open the window
And invite the external air
Without being digged into

Honking to clear its way/And when you must shut all the doors/For you don't want the world/To probe your wounds...loneliness is the befitting solution to the problems you have addressed in this thought provoking poem...10

2. Quotidian objects and ordinary happenings have a special place in modernist poetry: Those masterful images because complete Grew in pure mind, but out of what began? A mound of refuse or the sweepings of the street, Old kettles, old bottles and a broken can, Old iron, old bones, old rags … - Yeats

1. The sights and sounds of ordinary, every-day (quotidian) objects and events are internalized to lift the burden of sorrow inside. A nice contrast between doors being shut to keep out world that probes and digs versus opening of windows to let in an indifferent & non-judgmental world of ordinary life

Wind talks with windows and rain breaks their sleep. A powerful imagination is reflected well in this brilliantly penned poem. Moving through streets we can see raindrops falling on window panes. External air draws and invite attention. Wonderful poem is beautifully penned with deep expression.10
