Tanka poem
- Shreeram Stha
1.
Saramthali
Staying at night
Heart scared
A steep slope
Memory of earthquake.
2.
While hugging
Chortling laughter
Heart not connected
Trying to be connected
Light everywhere.
3.
If it a dream
Recalling revolt
Stick and bullet
Achievement by sacrifice
Democracy in a trap.
4.
Sunlight of mountain
Seeing the red edge
Laughing dusk
Glamorous the nature
Shy while looking.
5.
The star of sky
Shine at night
Dark shadow
In the lifht of morning
Hide by changing side .
6.
Being fragile
Oneself in obstacle
Crying in knee chest posiion
Result of being straight forward
Darkness throughout life .
7.
Nepali hat
Putting it in head
Being honest
Artificial identity
Protect by uniting together.
8.
Dark day
Soaked in a rain
Warm body
Hard to bear
Weakness blasted .
9.
Considering as my own
Became fanatic
Got became restless
Wandered hither and thither.
