A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN

What privilege do doors provide

If we can’t fasten them?

A personal cabin

With well furnished walls and

Ajar doors

Can easily invite intruders.

 A poet’s privacy is often vulnerable.

Process of writing a poem

Is as painful as

Conceiving an illegitimate child.

When the words cloud

At the tip of the nib,

I gain a power- extra sensory…

As a theyyam* performs

Over flames of fire-

For the instance,

I forget my risks after publication;

I count my injuries

Along applauses

When people peep at

My unfinished drafts,

I feel my nudity

Being exposed to lustful eyes…!

 Reema has fine language skills and her expressions really communicate .  I liked her writing.
Unlike many fake lady-idols.  She seems sincere and genuine.  VIJAYALAKSHMI
