POETRY • THOUGHTS • FENCED JOY
A Day of Writing, Fenced
Paper Poetry Prompt# 6
I just wanted to write today
with no predetermined theme to elaborate
no specific thoughts on my agenda to focus on,
a clear distancing required
from the dullness around-
escalated by the ‘here comes the winter’ moments
letters to words
words to weave thoughts
creating an elegant flow
for portraying whatever thoughts come by
in an edited speech for the readers
although nothing is new,
just converted or transformed,
like the energy conversion from one form to other
poetic words to digest, ingest and reflect
and, the day went by, and the night too
so many words, so many angles scribbled on the pages
still
satisfaction is roaming in no man’s land,
fenced around
by a strong force of doubts and fears
that words couldn’t embrace the joy
Perhaps, in another lifetime, then.
‘A Day of Writing’, by Suntonu Bhadra
