This poem is a color, a gender and a meaning.
This poem is a tiny bloom with a color.
This poem is the upbringing of a girl.
This poem is a magnifying glass looking for a meaning.
This poem is born in fire and darkness,
but it has a will to drift in the breeze like fragrance.
It wishes to fling away its pink hue to the blue sky.
It is the core of all tints, shades and tones.
This poem is a tiny bloom with a color.
This poem is an open hearth furnace.
It is a story of heat to remove impurities.
This poem is suffocation itself and all devouring.
It knows too well how to melt iron and free will.
This poem is the upbringing of a girl.
This poem is a pair of curious eyes.
It is a hunt for the essence of all objects.
This poem never tires and has the strength of steel.
The poem doesn’t believe in hindrance.
This poem is a magnifying glass looking for meaning.
This poem is a fragrant flower
with the soul of all colors.
This poem is the magnificent life of a strong willed girl.
The poem is a quest for finding love and life’s meaning.

Sumana, as I read, I knew this is a very important poem. I love the boomerang form, to begin with, but the story behind this poem is so meaningful. Young Adhik illustrates how much change one person can accomplish, with a vision and hard work. This is a glorious poem.
This poem is stunningly beautiful! And the story behind it is both heart-rending and inspiring.
This is beautiful, Sumana! Or maybe I should say “This poem is beautiful.”
The poem is a quest for finding
love and life’s meaning.
Perfect wordcraft Sumana! May like to try the new form later!

The world certainly needs more strong willed girls and parents to encourage them. Beautifull written Sumana.

Back for another read because “This poem is GORGEOUS!!!!”
This poem is suffocation itself and all devouring.

A lovely, thoughtful and layered expression of the feminine path, through this world. I also, thoroughly enjoyed the film. Thanks, Sumana.
This poem is a pair of curious eyes.
It is a hunt for the essence of all objects…………..so true, such a good read here
Beautiful!
I liked the yearning to own all the colors of the world and not be limited to the palette others have chosen.
A beautiful photo, and words to match!
I feel certain that you will find the object of your quest.
exquisite poem!
i like the idea of the poem being a magnifying glass looking for meaning. by extension, a poet is also seeking the truth.
thanks for sharing the video of Adhik. it is heartwrenching, and heart warming at the same time.
