And in keep with the old old favourites theme, here in another of mine.
It started with two poems being run on the poetry site called the Wondering Minstrels ( http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/1763.html and http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/83.html) - one each by William Carlos Williams and F.J.Bergmann.
And then Anita and Rohit joined in too.
All the poems are reproduced below :
The Red Wheelbarrow
-- William Carlos Williams
so much depends
upon
a red wheelbarrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
"An Apology"
-- F. J. Bergmann
Forgive me
for backing over
and smashing your red wheelbarrow.
It was raining
and the rear wiper
does not work on
my new plum-colored SUV.
I am also sorry
about the white
chickens.
Inspired by 'An Apology'
by Anita. B
forgive me
for overtaking
and grazing
your red scooty
it was raining
and you were
at the blind spot of
my green scratched esteem
I am also sorry
about that guy
at the adyar signal.
Rohit's Reply
-- Rohithari Rajan
Forgive you?
I was in a hurry,
And that was a NEW scooty!
I was getting soaked
while you blindly (bull)dozed
in that ghastly green thing
(A blow, I say, to anyone's esteem)
But don't worry about that guy
I never really liked him anyway.
