A Fancy Poem by Bharati Nayak
A Fancy
I envy the newspaper
You hold in your hand
For how eagerly
Your eyes move from
Letter to letter
And you would not let it go
Before you finished reading! !
Ah, had you but held me
in your hands
Like the newspaper
Read my eyes
With the same eagerness
And would not let me go,
Before you finished reading! ! !
The poet has nicely unfolded his thought. This is a beautiful poem emphasized eagerness and attention on important things for a special bonding. I love this masterpiece of the poet. The poem deserves +++++10. Thanks for sharing.
Very beautiful poem... Ah, hadyou but held me in your hands Like the newspaper Read my eyes With thesame eagerness And would not let me go, Before you finished reading.... So lovely....thanks
Humor is pleasantly deployed to convey sensual frustration - a good formula!
(cont.) HERE: Ah, had you held me...i think one would be a fairly sophisticated reader of English to understand that the sentence WILL be complete after the word reading. but i think it would be clearer (to me at least) if you had put but after you: Ah, had you but held me.... i wonder how an English teacher would explain that sentence's structure. bri :)
Thank you Bri Edwards for your nice comment.I will be correcting the line as per your suggestion.Thanks again for considering it for your showcase.No, I do not have its translation. I will do it.
STOP being so good in writing this gem! ! ! stop, Stop, STOP! ! ! i rarely use the word i shall put at the end of this sentence, but i must say i have found this to be FANTASTIC! and probably it DOES qualify as a fantasy. yes, you do have dream as one topic. to MyPoemList. will you have an Odia translation for THIS ONE? (cont.)
