A Village In Flood Poem by M D Dinesh Nair
A Village In Flood
A village in flood pleads for mercy
With its habitat done with disaster sans mercy.
The tears roll down and soon mix with flood waters
And the homes deserted do not dry back up to the rafters.
A village down with grief like a lass loved and forsaken
With a few faces turning upwards and their sighs going aloud.
The livestock look scared like kids orphaned or forgotten
And the new threats of the skies reach the basements beloved.
A village in starvation longs for its loaf of bread
With anxiety writ large on its wrinkled and feverish forehead.
An Ark is not there to carry these Noahs and their kith and kin
And the Creator plays his mischief unlike 'then'.
A village in floods intercepts my poetic fantasies for now
With its pale form ransacking my cheesy thoughts.
A new dwarfed rose blooms out within my orchard for how
There will ever sprout a thorn even beneath its roots!
The readers will get a vivid picture of a village that is in flood.Magical words and touching write.jk
The rain and flood play havoc and there is hardly anyone to feel for the people who have lost their lives and habitation! Those who have houses in the coastal regions live in knee deep water! There is starvation and epidemics! But the people who are to give a helping hand are busy discussing stories of scams and corruption! But Dinesh, as a poet is ever sensitive to such miseries around! He is someone with his sympathies and support, always for the deprived! A great write! !
Excellent write. So true...Many people loose their lives, worst part is the ones who is left behind to survive, with no loaf of bread, epidemic spreading so quickly.. Shivering in water....dead bodies floating in water. A very good write as if I could picturise it...
Very natural and elaborate expression.The wretched condition of the marooned people, their suffering have been penned sympathetically.A good poem indeed.
tragedy of human kind by heaven as we are treacherous so He take the ride to awake excellent poem thank you
The other side of the coin, rain is not just romantic. It brings plight for villagers. and you have described it realistically.
An excellent and powerful write with the intensity of the terrible situation brought to life so vividly!
