First woman
She comes out
from her mud house, wearing a sari,
That she drapes
around her body, so carelessly that
It seems she is
only taking her commands to cover
Body charms
friendly with sari, just to make her
Modest to the
public, no sharp line can be seen, only divine.
It is her
simple gesture, it is earthly entity and it is airy,
Sari waits
nothing, just makes her gracious,
Her walking is normal,
with no slippers on her feet.
She goes near a
well,
She draws water
by a bucket from the well,
And fills one
little drum with water, and then
Carries it,
goes near the cows those are tied with cord
Around bamboo
pole, in the courtyard,
She pours all
water through a long cemented tunnel container,
That is build
to hold water for drinking for cattle,
Those, in turn,
dip their mouths to drink water,
Her mud house
is covered with trees,
Under shadows to
keep the house cool
When the summer
sun burns all around.
The lady is
filled with maternal instinct here
And keeps
cattle on her control and service,
She is happy in
this work; it is her routine morning work,
She is a woman
with essence in life for love, carrying working reflection.
Second woman
All call her Diva
for her success in her debut social performance,
Sitting before
camera, she is a beauty paragon, looking bright,
With her body
as emblazoned with passion, sweet with looks,
As she is an
emblem for following her with many angles, drawn arts,
Her movements
draw cheers from her fans, which throng around,
Where she goes
with media circles, she has fans alongside individual camera flashes.
With crowd delighted
chanting in her praise, her smiling floods all around.
She is a Diva,
a woman with essence for love and success, she earns this position,
She wears baggy
clothes with designer art work showing examples,
Fashion orients
drawn, again she begins with fashion syndrome,
With 4 inches
high heel shoes, she is comfortable for her best walking,
She is woman of
strength that pours her beauty as if landing from heaven,
In pictures,
she is visible with woman strength with life and love.
what an amazing characterisation of two very different but similare women .. a true insight if ever.. which would i be .. both if i could .. lol .. brilliant again asim
ReplyDeleteThanks dear friend, Anita, for your beautiful and sweet comments
ReplyDeleteThere are two characters in your wonderful piece of poetry, both different in many ways. The first piece, she is a woman of the fields of working and shows no womanly features as this is how she was brought up I assume. Her sole role is to work within the fields and tend to the cows. You show the reader an indepth charater indeed of this person.
ReplyDeleteThe second woman quite different is indeed a diva and draws all the attention she needs from the cheering crouds who adore her. her beauty is fasinating to those who see her. She is all woman and she shows it to all who cares to look.
your poem draws the reader into the piece, it flows well is concise and has that distinctive power to be a most compelling piece of writing. And a great piece of poetry.
