A River Flows Back Poem by Harish k. Thakur

A River Flows Back

Rating: 5.0


In the country hall of Lescovac
Echoe the pangs of past,
The young Roma lads
Sing their way
Into the hearts of all.

The soft necks
And the lissome ups
Swagger over the pulsating bellies
As the girls flirt
Over the hidden landscapes.

A deep voice surfaces
From the unknown corner
And rips apart
The vale of silence
I have worn.

A sequence of tragedies
Takes shape
And you become numb
Over the macabre acts
Committed by times,
And the ill fate
Flung on to the innocent people.

There is a talent for writing here that is apparent to any reader. This is not realy a poem, though the form would indicate that. The writer is so skilled, however, that the reader may not notice this. The descriptive use of the written word is an artistic talent and this writing fits more easily in that realm. GW62

a wonderful oxymoron and metaphor at the same time: ''A deep voice surfaces From the unknown corner And rips apart The vale of silence I have worn.'' and an excellent poem..............10++++

A semi-philosophical poem with deep contents and sad tone. Poetically sublimed and very well written in mild verbiage to ease pain. The title is very catchy and compatible with the contents of the poem, very meaningful indeed..............10/10. Regards Naseer
