a deafening sound
as the airplane flew away
valley of mountain
leaving behind, trail of past
with pin-drop silence around
One of the best Tanka I have read so far. Full praises.
I can co-relate to many things and one being the Vally of Afghan now. Great write, Asim Sir.
A meaningful and poignant poem so succinctly expressed. Brilliantly crafted.
I concur with the comments of Poet Deepak SS. To my Poem List.
Very heart moving imagery and feel! .. Excellently expressed! .. Definite 5 Stars! ..+++++
For the pin drop silence fullest marks dear Asim ji
A silence after the deafening sound like a silence after the storm...says it all!
