ANUSHNA BISWAS

 


Mardy Gales

 

Mardy gales pick up

Small, tender flower plants

Earth’s numerous insects

And uproots fruit trees

 

Little things popping up green, red

Nature’s gift to population

When levelled finer plants

Leaking aroma and fragrance

 

Mardy high gales no new fear

They rule under thunders, lightning and rains

Mardy gales rush from oceanic depression

 

It swoops with fatal calamity

Met office can forecast

But cannot spike them

 

Mardy high gales despite its havoc

Seem welcome to people

 

It havoc disrupts

Can rebirth be far behind.

 

Cherry Orchards In Sunset

 

Cherry orchards in sunset

Greedy traders invade

Intruders letch after

Broken wigs

Cherry falls

Flock of birds pick

And track skyline

 

Bat look spectres

Tenebrous orchards groan

Shiver pale cherry orchards

Skylarks whistling above

But sky falls not

 

Cherry orchards on sale

 

An era ending

Grief no solace

Tenacity lacks

Dream cherry orchards

See apocalypse

 

The sun sets.

 

Zone

 

Unemployment and poverty

Steal our liberty

This is a cruel zone

Times of flying drones

 

Modern times full of cruelty

Shouts and howls split mentality

 

We are passing

Through a zone

Either we cross or fall

 

Hungry tide howling

To take revengeful toll.
