 RIPPLES AND BUBBLES

‘rishi’

(Latha Ramakrishnan)

(from the poem-collection

‘THE RAIN BEYOND & OTHER POEMS)

(1)

METAMORPHOSIS

Poems say nothing

Unless the reader becomes the poet

SYNOPSIS

Words in a poem are but

thorns and flowers in a jungle divine.

REALIZATION

Claps, applause _ can they

ever equal the joy of creating?

EXERCIZE

I walk along the vast expanse of

evergreen infinity of the world within.

PRAYER

Let me be wide awake in a

Dreamless full-throated sleep tonight.
