War

Posted on Apr 6, 2020Sep 16, 2020 by Ishita Gupta

Orphaned children, weeping widows,
Childless couples, filled with sorrow.

Tears flowed, flowers bestowed,
For this pain, there was no antidote.

Whose fault? No one knows,
War surged, like a black rose.

-Ishita Gupta

You conveyed such feeling of devastation through your words. The rhyme and brevity also magnify the effect. Great poem, loved it.

Nice Ishita. Deep!
(One comment: I think because you keep the words as ‘quote’ format, in mobile view some texts on the right are not visible..If ok, please keep it normal formatting…thanks)

      That’s odd, because it works in my and my friends’ mobiles. 😕
      I’ll keep that in mind while posting now

I am a girl who has chosen to explore and experience her life through words. Born and brought up in India, I am an avid reader, feminist, potterhead and a Biology student. I am also trained in a form of Indian classical dance, Kathak, and am currently learning contemporary dance style. Writing and poetry, for me, are a medium to channel my hidden emotions and also to create a change in the society. Please feel free to drop your feedback! View all posts by Ishita Gupta
