Trees by the Library

Leaf, little green leaf,
Shot with silver light:
When you dance with the wind,
you dazzle my eyes.

You droop in the rain,
but do you ever cry?!
I can't but delight, drenched,
in your rustling glee.

With every prayer, I ask
That I be born a tree
To have you adorn
My brown, scarred body.

Nice reading, simple and to the point...

Thank you. May I know who this is?

I would guess that its Karki.

Nice piece btw.... I liked the second stanza (or is it para?) especially.

P.S - what do your labels warp-and-woof and wubbles mean?

parivrajak said...

Yes, it's Karki. I figured it out after I saw Nepal-Bangladesh posts. :)

It's too complicated to explain. :P Tell you in class tomorrow.
