sad poetry
The cathartic nature of poetry makes it one of the best outlets to channel feelings of sadness, emotional turmoil, grief and despair.
** A Childhood etched in Earth and Empathy**
Mohammed Tajul Islam In a village mud house, with an open courtyard stretching into an empty field, a few of us students sat studying under the veranda’s straw-thatched roof, supported by tall mud walls. A gentle southern breeze whispered through the dawn, the sun yet to rise. The crisp morning air refreshed our minds and bodies as we immersed ourselves in reciting lessons aloud, determined to master the day’s topics. The tangled clusters of conjunct consonants tripped our tongues, but our pace never faltered, whether our pronunciations were right or wrong. Impatient, some classmates left for home, tired of waiting for the tutor. I stayed behind, alone.
