If I die
Scatter not my ashes,
But my thoughts…
Let my mortal thinking
Be immortalized
In the sands of India.
Let my truthfulness
Emancipate
The sinking souls
And
Dismount on the fouls.
These thoughts,
Let them rise with…
For there is a height
Where,
Lies a place
Of unremitting silence
And
Rich with
Unparalleled happiness
Let the place be filled
With purety and love
Let us sow here
Seeds so kind and noble
Let us drive here
Carts loaded with content
Let us stabilize
The beautiful mind,
In a beautiful world
With beautiful environment
Seeking endurance in eternity.
And there be no fights,
No discrimination on hold
For they don’t ensconce
Vitality of a living…
A living,
Adorned in understanding
Of life,
Of people around
And everywhere…
Caring for the sorrows,
Sympathizing discouragement,
Appreciating bravery,
Elating knowledge
And still aware
Of valuable time precedence.
Let my thoughts
Establish a wonderfulness
Let my thoughts
Rejuvenate the lost happiness
Let them blossom into
Beautiful deeds.
Make them eternal
‘coz they spread & wide
that fragrance must not die
‘til not needed.
And that time will seek
The death of these,
The thoughts,
But will rise soon
With another indistinct soul
And will immortalize them
For the new world
‘coz the world is changing………
Explanation:
– The above poem is of a certain type.
– Certainly it is a free verse, indeed not be a great one, but self-expressive.
– It has a distinctive four lines in the middle of the poem. This is known as a quartet. Each of the four individual lines has the same intensity and parameters. But the components are different, elements are different, trying to describe the same thing in different ways. The thing that is described is not the title necessarily, but always the theme of the poem. Title is the shortest summary of a poem but it is not the theme. We always use such a quartet for describing them, which here is ‘THOUGHTS’
– Also it has a doublet in the starting and towards the end. The lines with let- statement. A doublet is used for must-request only. They are almost always a let- statement. Let- statement can be used in double-doublet i.e. doudoublet, which is explained in the next poem.
– I name such a type of free verse poem as free verse signific.
– This is b’coz it signifies the theme into a more free manner. Here it may not elaborate much in the poem, but in reality it does ‘coz you need to think deeper and not higher. It signifies the theme by a doublet first, then quartet and then a doublet. They can be in any stanza but they must be in a D-Q-D manner i.e. doublet-quartet-doublet manner.
– I hope this is one of the very inexclusive different types.
