Passerby Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Passerby



On the grills the rust
Stands in stark contrast
To your serene eyes

They see it all
Ocean black eyeball
Still hold surprise

Brimming passion
What love in that ocean
Your pleading eyes

It makes me pause
There’s no greater cause
For a passerby

Your gestures bold
Said words untold
Your droopy ear

Ever so keen
To lovingly listen
Holds a stranger dear

You looked at me
With a loving plea
Oh passerby

Greet me awhile
Lend me a smile
For that I die

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I met this dog while passing by a house in a town far away from my place.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Until I read 'drooping ears', I was wondering whose were those ocean black eyes that brimmed with passion! I never thought it is a celebration of canine love! Enjoyed!
