Give me a word

Give me a word

A Poem by Dupur Mitra

Give me a word 
that is simple and like water 
to occupy love 
as a squatter

Give me a word 
that is free and like a flower 
and my happiness
want to spread over 

Give me a word 
that is white and sharp 
i am that hero 
playing the harp

I love the last stanza, the imagery in the last bit is powerful, the term hero I interpreted it as being someone heavenly like god or an angel. I love the fact you repeat the first line and follow it with a simile every time except from the last bit. Nicely done! x
Love to you x

creative writing! great write. simple and to the point. the second stanza i think seems to be the weakest word usage wise, but the last stanza is the best out of them all. it really does have an effortless flow to it.

Dupur,

I agree with the previous reviewers that this is a great poem. I really like it.

Please help me understand:

Line 7 & 8. 'and my happiness wants to spread all over' ? or 'and my happiness wants to spill all over' ?

Line 11 & 12. I am that hero playing the harp' I don't understand the connection between 'hero' and 'harp' except that harp rhymes with sharp. The imagery confuses me for some reason. I see white as heavenly but not anything sharp or do you mean distinct. Are you referring to a heavenly personality as the hero and you become that persona? Sorry, I can't see or feel this. Help.

This is not criticism; merely my interpretation. Sometimes I stumble over simple things so don't take offense with my comments.

A great improvement in your translation. Keep up the good work. Thank you for sharing this poem with us.

A beautiful and positive poem. Funny how somethings can bring peace to us. I like a song with a violin and a beautiful voice and song. There are some words that can rebirth hope and energy too. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
