Snow clad peaks
Grazing clouds
Glazing meadows
Weeping weather
Poking sunlight
Busy birds
So much to adore
Words struggling to express
Nature at its best
Where many students
On a study tour
In Himachal Pradesh
Enjoying lush greenery
Moving over river bed
On a slender stream
Of beautiful Beas
When all of a sudden
Many of them
Were swept away
Quite mercilessly
Gushing water
Running everywhere
Reservoir gates
Thrown open
Without any caution
Human error
Destroying altogether
Though authorities suspended
And immediate action taken
Loss of lives
Whom to answer?
excellent portrayal of nature and how it is maligned, with a social message weaved in
This is Phenomenal! the rhythm is uninterrupted all through the poem.
Thank you Vijay. Playful phrases carry your reader to a place where all his assumptions have to be reassessed. A tragic event, thoughtfully and movingly described..
A tragedy of immense proportions. Great future swept away in an instant. Poem is full of concern and caution.
A glamorous nature poem that ends tragically. Sad to read. Nature is destructive too.
This poem which starts describing an idyllic scene that turns into a catastrophe halfway shocks in an unexpected the mind. It is very powerful. Chris
