To Embrace Her Beau Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
To Embrace Her Beau
She, born of height, cradled by lofty crest,
Mothered by mounts, reared by many a brook,
Dancing down sprightly as spring, still modest,
Oft hiding hind hillocks in cranny's nook,
In no time to resurface once again
A new avatar, a wide-mouth waterfall,
Cascading down and in utter disdain,
Meandering river to be in thrall,
And at long last to be an estuary,
Sprawling, shallow, wide-mouth and slower still,
Destined to embrace sea, fulfilled to be—
But O poet, there's option, nor self-will!
She's no maid rushing forth to embrace sea,
A maiden made O more of poetry.

Rivers are painted in fancy by poets, the most common being a bride rushing sprightly down to meet her beau, the sea— gliding over the plain truth: water flows down seeking gravity.

Although I get the hang of what you say, there always remains something unfathomable in your comments. Now this: 'after 4 lines you may like to leave a gap'. Pray can you throw some PP light on it? But first thank you for calling this sonnet 'so beautiful'.
