Reading Amanda Gorman
Reading Amanda Gorman
Knowing not who is Amanda Gorman
Knowing not a woman of 22 years old
I started reading 'The Hill We Climb'.
Before that I read Maya Angelou's
' On The Pulse of Morning '
Before that Frost's ' The Gift Outright'
And in between these poems
I read the revolt of Allen Ginsberg's '
Go fuxx yourself with your atom bomb',
Not a writing on inauguration.
I could touch Gorman as much
As I went through the hill, in words
Of Amanda, bridges.
O Amanda, why not bridges
You mentioned as ones of the whole world
Yes I want to deduce like Frost
You want to see the world in a grain
As good and bad equally
The past of the whole world.
I could touch well enough Amanda's bridges
Truly the rhetorics the alliteration
Of Amanda are smooth like Yeats
Even keeping the rap
And hip hop style
Of the present generation.
Here to be noted I am not describing
Amanda's works
Nor praising or criticising
I only want to touch Gorman
I only make bridges unlike Amanda
And like hers.
O Amanda, congratulate on
When even being a woman of 22
You can pronounce, ' breath
From my bronze- pounded chest '.
I feel proud of you and I want to be
Proud more
Thinking you will make bridges
For the whole world
In your next pronounce in poems
As you know; from yours also
Can I know 'wounded world', 'wondrous one'!
Dear Amanda
When days will come
You and I will launch a journey
On an identical boat and will say :
Before being an American be man
Before inauguration of a president
Make inauguration of humanity.
