My poem “MORNING DREAM OF MINE” reviewed by honorable reviewer Prof Dr Nirakar Dash Department of English, Assam University.
Humbled & Honoured.
MORNING DREAM OF MINE !
If I steal some light from the blazing sun
Or melody from the whistling wind
If I steal some hues from the rainbow
Or some blessings from the shrines
That won’t fill the emptiness of yours
Rather the world ‘ll treat me strangely
May God stand by you all the time
Sans you I’m lonely in my journey of life
My yard all dull and monsoon dried up
For you’re true morning dream of mine.

REVIEW
********
The poem,”Morning Dream of Mine” nearly resembles John Donne ‘s “Go and catch a falling star”in which Donne tries to drive home the infidelity of women by using far fetched images. likewise, here in this poem ,Dr Dalai tries to prove the impossibility of his love coming back, which is suggested by “morning dream”. Dreams are dreams and they can never be translated into reality.Imposible feats like stealing light from the burning sun, melody from wind, colour from rainbow and grace of God and so on are related to Donne ‘s imagery, making the poem almost a classic one. His friends treating him in preposterous way,”dull yard”and dry “monsoon” express his loneliness and precarious state of mind. Although short, the poem poem conveys a bulky theme.Very nice creation! Congratulations Prasanna Sir on writing such a splendid poem..Due regards.
