A Fairy Tale Poem by Sayeed Abubakar
A Fairy Tale
[Dedicated to the dead rivers of Bangladesh]
Once these paths were rivers,
These fields the processions of water.
One day on these paths
The princesses used to go by the pea-cock boats.
On these paths with huge goods
The merchants used to move.
These paths were rivers,
These fields the processions of water.
In these fields, the silvery fishes
Touching the uprising waves, how nicely
Rolled up and down in the dark water!
Pedestrian,
Am I telling you a fairy tale?
Thanks, dear Mirna Morgan. If you ever come in Bangladesh, you will find how true my poem is in the context of my dear motherland. We have lost almost all our big and small rivers.
A pretty poem with river imagery that is great to picture. Like it lots.
