A Woman. From Elena Rylova Poem by Liza Sud
A Woman. From Elena Rylova
You think that a woman is writing a verse
Above a thick table she's hastily leaning.
But not in the house, in heart humble words,
Even in the kitchen while making a dinner.
Sometimes she is laughing, sometimes she is sad...
and the ringing lines she is threading like gem beads.
Sometimes she's offended, more often forgives,
She bends under burdens, but spirit is high.
women are poetry in motion my wife is the best poet in motion in the Universe! All others are a close second!
An emotional woman....... Congrats on being selected......

A nice poem, thanks both to the original poetess and the translator poetess. 'Even when our hand is doing very mundane job, our heart writes poetry' - liked this part of Bharat Nayak's comment, to which I heartily agree!
Sometimes she is laughing, sometimes she is sad... and the ringing lines she is threading like gem beads........ yes dear poetess. your spirit is high....... that we read in your poems. lovely one.. dev
Mixed emotions but the poetry comes out when it must! I like this, Liza.
