ਚੰਨਕਿ੍ਤ ਕੌਰ--ਉਮਰ ਗਿਆਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਰ੍ਹੇ- ਅਮਰੀਕਾ
A FREE PERIOD
Its a free period
And I’m sitting on my chair
Leaning on my desk
Feeling a bit of idiot
‘cause I’ve got nothing better to do.
I decide that I should write some poetry.
Its a free period,
And here I am sitting like a fool,
‘cause I’ve got nothing better to do,
I have tried to write some poetry ,
But the words buzz round my head,
I think that writing poems ,
is an idea that is certainly dead.
Its a free period,
And here am I sitting like a dope on my chair,
I don’t feel like doing some work,
I know it makes me a jerk,
But I really don’t care,
And now I don’t want to write any poetry,
I don’t have the likes for embroidery ,
So I better put down my head.

Love you Channkrit !
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very mature poem by not so mature poet. I am wondering if she has profoundly steeped in the modern sensibility that she could pen the lines:

and later on:

and then again:

Wonderful sensibility of a true poet struggling with the process and truly confessing what goes on within her mind.
I am impressed.

Thanks Surjit, I
I am wondering I am certain these budding poets you have encouraged to include have a lot of truly poetic promise, rather some lines and thoughts represent the maturity of seasoned practitioners of this art.
It was a refreshing , yet no less, rewarding experience.
