It's not right what you say
Doing what you love isn't key
Clouds don't whine when it's time to go grey
Nor the sand when it's whipped by the sea
Doing what you love isn't key
Planets throw no tantrums at routine
Nor the sand when it's whipped by the sea
We're the only ones making a scene
Planets thrown no tantrums at routine
Think they care about being 'truly content'?
We're the only ones making a scene
The only ones expressing dissent
Think they care about being 'truly content'?
It's not right what you say
Just love what you do; relent
Clouds don't whine when it's time to go grey
The above is an attempt at a pantoum. It is also a note to myself, in case this comes off as hypocritical!
In other news, one of the poems I wrote on this blog back in January- Tell Me- has been published in an anthology entitled 'Cover to Cover- A Collection of Poems' by Forward Poetry Publishers. I want to thank my lovely readers who read the poem on here first and gave me encouraging comments :)
I thought it was well done, no need to apologize! Hypocritical is good in this cynical world - at least for me, sometimes! Humble too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! So wonderful to be appreciated for your talent!
ReplyDeleteYou speak the truth about human nature. Good poem.And congrats to on your publication.

I haven't the slightest idea what a 'pantoum' is supposed to be like, but I think (in a completely unbiased way) that this is the best one I've ever read :) Ghadeer, Ghadeer, Ghadeer - you are so TALENTED. How are you so talented?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on that poem being published! I have to admit I forgot which one it was, but nevertheless, I know that you deserve it, mash'allah :) When I start having an income, insha'allah I'm going to order that book, just for your poem if anything ^_^
What would I do without your encouraging comments Laila? :)
DeleteA pantoum is a poem where the first and third lines of the previous stanza become the second and fourth of the next, and so on.
WOW. I'm so glad for you. Congratulations, this is big :)
