The Designer by anjali Sahoo

Rating: 5.0

His arrow missed the target
On the day of Justice itself
Though he was worthy enough to
Point the stars neatly!

His dream disintegrated
Then and there!

He could not sleep at night!
Knocked many doors and windows
And pleaded for the pieces of his dream!

The ocean was engrossed in touching the blues
The dove was flying to a peace summit
Biting a memorandum by her beak
The horse was decorating himself
To gallop towards his owner's destination
The mountain was making a tryst with thunder
The life was inside a newly installed lift
The time was jotting down everything
In its eternal memoir

He swallowed his soul again to dream in deeds
To become the designer of his own destiny! !

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A very good poem for the remarkable series of linked images: the dove biting a memorandum by her beak'the horse galloping to the owner, the mountain making a meet with thunder, the life inside' a newly installed lift', and the time noting down the memoir. The poem links all these images from memorandum to memoir. The disintegration of the dream does not despair the designer of the destiny. He makes an attempt to'dream in deeds'. Dream may disintegrate but one should learn to dream in deeds. Tha last two lines provide the keynote.

I sometimes appreciate Poet's Notes. This one I 'could have done without', meaning I did not care for it/like it. I DO LIKE your sprinkling of alliterations here and there in poem and Poet's Notes.

I liked: 'The mountain was making a tryst with thunder' ..but....'The life was inside a newly installed lift'? ? Do you mean 'lift' as in 'elevator'?
