A Poem - 'What Made Me a Poet?'
What Made Me a Poet? Roshogullas, roshomalai,mishtidoi, Padma, Brahmaputra, the rains, the rivers, Rotund faces, pink cheeks, flowers, The beauty of Bengal made me a Poetess. The green smelly flies, The fish all around, Love and beauty made me a poet. Knowing the worst of human behaviour, Makes one the best of poets. Sorrow and joy made me a poet. The dance of colours, The music of weathers, Bright dresses, Children, dreamless, Fear, anger, hurt, ego, helplessness, hopelessness, All made me a poet. S.Padmapriya
