How Would I... Poem by Indira Renganathan

How Would I...

Rating: 5.0


It's exceeding an hour now.He's still crying
I looked out to know what was happening
Nothing and nobody else I saw.He's still crying

Unable to find the reason, unable to console
Alone and helpless to ask or stop him
Finding no way at all to help or console

I look awful now as much as he looks
It's exceeding an hour now.He's still crying
And now you've come to throw on me doubting eyes

As if I don't care..no, not so friend
We can not talk to each other..why?
How would I decipher a crow's cry friend..

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

The poetess is awfully confused by the continuous cry of a crow. She wishes she could decipher it's language and could look into its distress. Such is her keenness in the nature and its intricacies. Marvellous poem its
