Atul has recently joined a special class to develop English language skills. I too have started attending the class and found to be interesting though I am way too slow in learning. One of the exercises is like this....
1) Think of a person whom you have strong feelings. It can be love, hatred, jealousy, anger etc.
2) Describe the person's hand.
3) What does the person's hand do?
4) Write a metaphor on a place / city / sea /mountain or similar ones.
5) Ask a question to the person including (3) & (4).
6) Assume the role of the person and answer incomplete.
7) Involve all the above to write a poem or short story.
All the above points were done one by one retaining the suspense throughout. The last point (7) was the homework for us.
Here it is.... :)
.........................................................................
THE HAND OF LOVE
To a mystery land of love and fight
Driven by the energies of unknown sight
I, the dreamer, dreamt a dream one day
Along the knightly clouds of disorder
Played the kingly moon of the sky farther
I stood in awe at dawn near the bay
From the colourful monkeys of dreams
To the seamless reality of gleam
I asked the hand of blessing ‘the way’
Bring me a paper and pencil I spray
The play of light understand you may
A dreamer I am, so did he say
With my life canvas painted in white
And fate rewritten with love so might
I froze day and night unable to even pray
It is this Master’s hand that has healed
Many a pain of time that are veiled
I dreamt to become such a dreamer that day
.........................................................................
NEEDLESS TO ADD THAT I ENJOYED THE WHOLE EXERCISE VERY, VERY MUCH. I FINISHED WRITING THIS AT NIGHT 12:30 :)

I have no words to appreciate this poem. You have written it so beautifully. You have written your assignment so diligently.
ReplyDeleteYour thoughts as understood from the poem are very smooth and coherent. I really enjoyed reading this post.
