Ashtray! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
Ashtray!
A Beautiful hall
Everything kept intact and
Each thing arranged neatly
A decorative touch by artistic hand.
My attention was caught
Centre of the table
Where a beautiful ashtray was kept in centre of table
Filled with ashes and few sticks of burnt cigarettes.
Still the smoke rising out of it
It seems someone was smoking and left
Out the partially burnt cigarette butt on ashtray.
Ashes may be of ones frustration removed
Ashes may be ones anger burnt
Ashes may be ones ego burnt
Ashes may be someones uncontrolled habits
May be of pain or sorrow or may be for fun or
May be of simply nothing.
A beautiful ashtray filled with ashes and
burnt cigarettes butts spoke of many things.
It seems that each dust of ashes wanted to tell something.
Though the house looked beautiful
Ashtray kept at centre of table caught my attention.
Is it the ashtray
Or the ash filled tray draw my attention
To come up with such a poem
For I am not sure!

Thru the central metaphor of ashtray you expressed the thought of the poem.Loved the lines- - - - Ashes may be of ones frustration removed Ashes may be ones anger burnt Ashes may be ones ego burnt Ashes may be someones uncontrolled habits May be of pain or sorrow or may be for fun or May be of simply nothing.
The ashtray contains the frustration ego wrath...... but still alive which are not yet extinguished.
Ashes connote fire was and fire symbolises many a thing........Geetha........a great write with a great narration...........
Ashes may be of ones frustration removed Ashes may be ones anger burnt Ashes may be ones ego burnt Oh.... How many thoughts an ashtray has generated in your fertile imagination, Geetha! Enjoyed!
