Tanka
– Shreeram Shrestha
1,
Mercury fish
While trying to grasp tightly
Escaped by slipping
Greed of a whole day
Remembered by swallowing spit.
2,
Assuming sweet
Eating bread
Satisfied fully
After fully satisfying hunger
Sat out of wings.
3,
Bahun danda
Covered by greenery
Beautiful hamlet
Proliferated silence
Germinated fear and stress.
4,
Burning a light
light in every orner
Darkness concealed
In a order of burning
Saved its existence .
5,
Green bamboo
Wishing to touch the sky
At my own pace
Tired while moving forward
Bending due to shame .
6,
Story of heart
Suffocated within the heart
Stayed silent
I also remained silent
Germinated pains and sorrows
