November 12, 2014 – Meenas Poems

The boy of long years

full of life and cheer

once very aggressive and bashful

has become now a man wonderful

solemn and gentle in tone

not because of his choice alone

turned so to adjust to his wife

who keeps him in strife

behaves with a lot of indifference

pays scant or no reverence

belies herself in her attempts

treats all with a possible contempt

speaks loud and rude

her movements are crude

know the reason now for his change

a man I sympathise from a range

I will be wrong if I blame himas he has no knowledge of construction nor […]
