Spent

Spent

Screeching, scraped, cut & crawling notes of old strings,
An aged instrument, how much could the artist truly do,

My breaths are owned by coins, soon to be all but spent.

Shukriya so much Sparrow for your kindness and hugs. Sincerely appreciated!
A hug for you too! :-)

I wish there were a tag in either of the taglists for 'brevity'. It'd make for a stronger representation of the style here.

These shorter pieces of yours are like poetic diamonds; small and perfectly formed: one can see through and be dazzled by them...but they're so tightly put together that the joins and the working parts are invisible to the naked eye.

Perfection!

You really are too kind Jason! I wish I had a word more indicative of my humble gratefulness for your encouragement other than the simple 'shukriya'.

To be very honest, despite beginning as a kind of a story poet with medium to really long poems, I have evolved to have 'brevity' as my most cherished form of expression. The post just before this one is also an example.

This particular three line poetry was pioneered and initiated by the HIndi/Urdu poet Gulzar, from India. It is called the Triveni. The first two lines here can be a complete couplet by themselves. The third line while bearing not much direct connection with the first two, adds a newer dimension or point of view to the piece, like an element of little surprise. I consider Gulzar as my guru and Trivenis as one of my most favourite forms of poetry. Thus, I have been attempting to adapth the form in the English language as well. :-)
