10.10 Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

10.10

Rating: 3.0


(dedicated to Saint Cynosure, a poet friend at poemhunter)

Bread is dancing inside December
I think I know what I’m doing
Wet road is so dark, so dark
Cute children play hide and seek
Sweaty farmers dig very deep holes
Who’s wrong and who’s right?

(inspired by Deep Purple’s Perfect Strangers)

That was interesting! I shall return to read it again. I often find that thought-provoking poetry needs more than one reading.

They're all right in their own way perhaps? Each of us with different agenda's. I love short meaningful poems, well done. Ruthy
