A Request Poem by Shouvik Roy
A Request
Let me sit here for a while,
For I have had enough of this digging.
Digging hard, digging rough;
And as I dig,
A bead of salty sweat
Drips down my nose
And drops on the soil I just dug,
I bend down to gather my breath
And then fall to right away.
I am tired,
Don't you see my worn out hands?
Old age is not to blame,
The rough skin of the plough,
Tainting them since ages long,
Infecting, killing,
And now they seek solace,
In nature's song.
So let me sit for a while
By the lake, I shall dip my feet
In the water, sway them back and forth.
A fish would swim by and I shouldn't notice,
Let the wet breeze kiss my head
And play with my hair forever,
I shall close my eyes and be lost.
Don't wake me up, I beg;
I will dig the rest tomorrow,
For today I shall rest
On the grass so green,
Look at the blue sky
And remember the good old days,
And just wish to die,
One shouldn't ask why.
This work, it really done with a good structure, like your other poems, the most good thing in a poem is the differences of the message...and how we can take it to ponder..and could be better if feeling is written too, this is a good job shouvik, Have a good time writing for next_Unwritten Soul
Really nice composition. Keep it up. The words were carefully carved and it deserves a thumbs up
Really, very nice.The word pictures are very vivid.Well-crafted.The flow of emotion has reached to climax gradually.Marvelous.Khub Valo.
