The Poet


Renu Singh

Renu Singh's literary career discovered itself with the Hindi novel, ‘Vaapsi’. According to her 'it was the first introduction to the writer in her'. Vaapsi is the first Hindi novel to be written and published in North America, and is honoured with the House of Commons Achievement Award in 2001. She has also written children’s books, two of which are in submission. She enjoys writing Poetry. Some short stories in Hindi have been published in magazines, and an English postcard story dragged itself to be among the first sixty finalists in a postcard story competition held by the Writers Union of Canada.

Renu Singh has just completed an English novel, 'The Return', which is in the process of being reviewed.

She strongly believes: 'Writings write themselves using the writer as a medium. And it is my effort to be a good medium, and I’m open to any criticism on my work.'

'Likhari' is very pleased to publish a short poem entitled: 'The Poet.'

 

 

The Poet

One Poet knows it all…
When the leaves fall
And the stars burn
When the memories call
And the pages turn
One poet knows it all…

When the legends live
And poetry smiles
When the history give
Milestone and miles
Stand so proud and tall
One poet knows it all…

When the darkness rules
And the classics die
When the wings burn
And a phoenix fly
A life so big so small
One poet knows it all…

When the life brings
The colours of life
Into the pinnata of springs
Cuts through summer’s knife
Touching the leaves of fall
One poet knows it all…
