Mrs. Burne

I wrote this poem with help from a friend two years ago, as we attempted to create a scene for a play in a drama workshop.

Mrs. Burne
On a misty day,
In the himalayan hills,
Mrs. Burne sate by the windowsill.

"I want to go for a walk,"
She told her cook,
Picked up her coat,
And left with one last look.



As she was walking on the hills,
She realized she forgot to take her pills!
She fainted there,
and when she woke up,
She longed for a warm coffee cup.

A traveler soon walked by,
Waved her hand, and said "Hi!"
As the traveler walked on,
She met two girls,
Who kindly asked,
"Have you seen Mrs. Burne?"

"Was she the one wearing white?
I'm very sorry I have poor eyesight".
Then in her head struck a light,
She was the one struggling for life!

"We must go and rescue her now!"
" But how shal we climb? How, how how?"
The girls said " We'll climb as one"
Come on ,come on it'll be great fun!"

They found Mrs. Burne and took her home,
And that's the end to our beautiful poem!

Hope you enjoyed the poem. I enjoyed writing it with my friend.

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
