Styles Of Beggary-4 Poem by Indira Renganathan

Styles Of Beggary-4

Rating: 5.0


Regular absentees festively so present

Deepavali and Pongal scavenge to harvest

'Not paid, not supported sufficient'

Grinning memo haunts the government

Tipped grin salutes bright

And

Road doesn't remember the sweeping faces

Year throughout as mostly their labourless absence

And the unending hands of cadgers..

Festivals are beggary-days

For divine boons

True but untrue

As 'inam' is angry beneficence

Indira, This is a great addition to this seriesof yours. I like the maner in which you use differnt forms and the way that yu use language. 'beggary-days' is a great term and highly original in its use. At first ths read as a collection of stements but the continuity of it is so subtle.
