Tanka poem
- Shreeram Stha
1.
Dusty path
suffering of walking
Lured death
Walking wearing max
Teased by time.
2.
Winter weather
Laying down in bed
Sesrched warmth
Trying to sleep
Teased by coolness.
3.
Life story
Memento of two days
Leave the arrogance
Standing in faith.
4.
Dry sea shore
Hunted by thirst
Drank sweat
To save prestige
Tightened up belt.
5.
Tree of ficus religiosa
Opern heart of ancestors
Contribution of nature
Sight of greedy eyes
Destruction of Rest stop.
6.
Covered with cloud
Bang of thundering and lightening
Human murder
Insane nature
Cries in human being.
7
Fundamental rights
Limited in paper
So many reign
In the base of politics
Acted forcefully.
8.
Leaf leaves
Sticking slug
Became a hole
Trying to cover the hole
Walking by head daown.
9.
River water
Difficult to cross
Courageous mind
Standing in stron leg
Trying to move forward.
10.
Inside the pond
Suffocated by water
Odour of fish
After not getting taste
Doing vomiting.
11.
Keshar mango
Sucking its endocarp
Numbing a tongue
Sharp when it was small
Ate nicely.
12.
Young cucumber
Eating by making piece
Different taste
Tired of cutting it
Both hands became wet.
- Trans.by Saroj Bogati
