Friends

Extremely ordinary footwear
a bag that has everything
needed for an overnight stay

No TV in the house

A rack full of books
fiction, politics, travel
a little humanistic poetry

Some soulful music

Ever observant eyes
analytical mind
large accommodating heart
providing to the soul

An adopted child

Clear, respecting relationships
open to questions, reason
encouraging independence

An alternative school
a telescope

An open house
a stream of friends

      Rajnish, thanks i’ve given the names of the poets in each post. but this one- ‘friends’ is mine and many translations on the blog are mine too. glad you like my collection :)

  2. I was facing a similar problem even though for me the Quality of poetry should have determined that which ones have been written by me.
    I made a section called ‘By aahang” on my blog so that the readers can have a choice of skipping my ramblings.
    You write well so there was this confusion.
    Wishing you well.
