Kurine Poem by Md. Ziaul Haque

The word 'Kurine' means,
Poems of twenty lines,
A form of poetry,
Invented by me.

Before writing poetry,
I thought of inventing a style aptly,
That with my name shall be,
Like a shadow constantly.

Whatever the thought is,
I just endeavour and seize,
To translate,
It into words to create.

My heart dances in ecstasy,
Whenever I see,
The readers speak well of,
The poems and love.

Pray for my kurine to scatter,
Everywhere,
Pray for it to be immortal,
To be cherished by all.


- The Bangla word ‘কুড়ি' [transliteration- ‘kuri'] means 'twenty' in English and I have added 'ne' from the word 'line'. Hence, the word 'Kurine' is born, which means 'poems of twenty lines'. To be frank, I tend to generate novelty here.
