Tanka
- Shreeram Stha
1.
Riverbank of Taruka
Seeing the smoke of funeral
Broke up arrogance
By uniting doing hand in hand
Will live happily.
2.
Bloomed flowers
Kissing of bees
Lost its aroma
Pretty to watch
The fragrance lost.
3.
The ghost house
At 12 in the noon
Like surprising
Fearful sound
Spoken the divine power.
4.
Keeping dreams
Near the candle
The heat of fire
Sorrow and pain of ever
Guoding a life.
5.
In Thansing
Concealed greenery
Heart became fresh
Plain field valley
Apile of money.
6.
In Rishi panchami
Society of balami
Child marriage
Lack of consciousness
Embracing the crime.
7.
Grown fortune
Success in work
Transient happiness
The piles of sorrow
Gloomy life.
8.
Sea water
Seeing neat and calm
Swallowed spite
At the time of thirst
Satisfied by remembering.
9.
Muddy water
At the time of thirst
Remenbered filtered
Stuggling being thirsty
Drank tears by closing eyes.
