Death Of A Noble Soul
There was a deathly silence all around,
The speaker shed tears and said,
"What a noble soul we have lost,
All of us are orphaned now.
Who shall we look to for inspiration?
This orphange and other schools
will be Fatherless now.
He was a true father
Who showered fatherly love on you all.
So devoted was he,
To the cause of orphans,
That he never married."
So spake people one after another.
The crowd marched past the body
Of the departed servent
With wreaths in hands round
The casket which was gleaming mahogny.
There was a mound of flowers soon enough
Having shed tears
And bowing of heads
And folded hands.
The bigwigs left.
Slowly the crowd thinned,
The reporters packed their bags
And were departing last .
A girl , barely sixteen,
Inmate of the orphange
Stood at the gate with
A child in arms, looking
At people with vacant eyes.
A reporter asked the orphan girl,
"Is this your child?
She barely nodded.
"Yes"
"Who is the father who gave you
This child?"
Persisted the news man.
"He is in that room,
Dead........
Lying in the big casket."

Oh boy!!! That was ironic!!!
Hemanthji: You are doing a wonderful job with the poems! Feeling tempted to try my hand at some too, if I could only find the time!
And then there was a cloud that thought
In front of the sun I shall park, the whole world I shall make dark
But the sun shone from behind its edges
Making the cloud pretty, the subject of much poetry
Wow, badri! This thread indeed is sparkling with gems of poetry! :D
Hello Badri,
Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am greatly influenced by Sharartchandra . I think my early exposure before the age of 13 to Bengali Literature has a lot to do with my poetry and stories.
Hello PP Madam,
You did not say anything towards Noble soul's demise.... :cry:
Sorry, Sir! Somehow such themes dont attract me much. But I must tell you how sharply you have brought out the ignoble conduct of the "noble" soul!
Dear friends,
Due to spiritual reasons, I have renamed my food website
"NAIVEDHYAM"
And have also removed my name from that website.
This was decided last year itself.Due to the same reasons, I removed my name from all the astrology yahoo groups last year.
And I downed my astrology website for the same reasons too.
Same thing I want to do in the FORUMHUB.
The poetry author's name will be "NICHIRO"
I request moderator Mr. Raghavan to change the author's name as
" NICHIRO" in place of my name I know it might be difficult. But please do the needful.
I am withdrawing my membership with this name and also AVATAR.

Hello Friends,
:D
This feels good.
Bondage of a name has been removed.
I feel lighter. :D
Nichiro
Well, guess that is how the Gods must have felt after each "avatar"? :wink:
Anyway, welcome, Nichiro, and welcome back!! And continue to regale us with more cheerful poetry, now that the great burden is lifted off your shoulders!
