The Ascent

Hope before the ascent begins
That they will elect to endure
Refuting them their bliss
Their pain has been obscured
But the time has come

Dream over the stagnant being
Of whiles yet to come
Pray that they choose to drift
Among the beauties of your soul

Make haste and imprint
Their image, sound and feel
While you dream, hope and pray
The ascent of your loved one
And of your recollections
Has begun

Divert your heart,
As you leak emotion
Their ascent shall be your undoing
But the ascent isn’t over yet

Suppress the fear
As your memories escape
The ascent of your loved one
And of your recollections
Is finished

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'.

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. 

Coromandel Fishers by Sarojini Naidu

Hello! For this post I will be exploring another poem written by Sarojini Naidu, called "Coromandel Fishers". This poem can be taken as an allegory, for although it speaks to fishermen, it's metaphoric value speaks to the nation, and can be considered a wakening call for the people of our country. When I wrote about "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad", I mentioned that Sarojini Naidu was one of our freedom fighters, and believed greatly in the Swadeshi movement. Naidu reflects her passion for India in this poem.
