A Flood Of Dancing Circles Poem by Minnu Serah

A Flood Of Dancing Circles

Rating: 5.0


A flood of dancing circles,
My first alphabet in muddy water

Leaning over the banisters,
I overhear them,
As usual, of Smart City,
Of Internet banking,
Of how Wipro lost its project.

Reminiscences,
Only a few,

Once my mom came to my school
To show my identification marks,

At nine,
rubber groves and sunken lanes,
hovering over me,

I was thirteen then,
We went for an excursion,
I collected the photographs of my friends,

After three years,
My professor said,
Your reading on resonance column is wrong,

At twenty,
I closed my eyes,
When our car broke down
On the way to my Granny’s funeral,

When I was twenty two,
I used to say,
I don’t know anything

Later,
I picked a green tender leaf
From a mosanta in my courtyard.

Frankly speaking you left the reader read further and farther beyond the last three lines' Later, I picked a green tender leaf From a mosanta in my courtyard. sure i will come to the very shoe you were on when you closed that poem with. it is the unsaid that is found being said. i start to read you again good luck you are no noive anymore. take from me.

I like the sequence of the pictures, the sequence of life. The poem remains open..invites us to continue your trip. As a poet, you have trapped us in the poem. This is the power of the poem, regardles if its incoherence of the scenes.Go ahead
