SR Nirmal Kumar: Poems

Tall
Leggy, slender
Ascending, cantering, vaulting
Vertically gifted, vertically challenged
Descending, craving, scampering
Small framed, compact
Short

Thriving in the midst of adversity

Blinding flashes of lightning
Deafening claps of thunder
Unflinching, mushrooms sprout in my backyard

Toilsome duty, yet delighting

Climbing up and down
Do you count your steps,
Li'l squirrel?

Identical twins
Separated at birth?

Odd man out
At the lion's funeral
Laughing hyena

Walk in the manner of the ant

Nothing happens by serendipity
Dutifully marched
Indefatigable ants

What can't be cured must be endured

Incorrigible!
Screamed the stray
Twist in the tail
