Analysis of Turn off
Diksha 2001 (Jharkhand)
We,
Rise to the screen,
Every morning snoozed
Undone with things
To bestow us
Nothing
Settles the room again
Stilled in the pink walls
Sometimes lullaby to the stars ,
Haunted avow past time.
The screen popped .
Shows,
Snooze again?
That's cool but i
Turned off in vein.
I look out
To find anew
For passing days,
I find none.
Though tulips and lily to gaze .
The screen popped
But i turned off .
I walked out ,
Their cherry petrichor to chase .
Leaned with hypnotic limerence
Absorbs me all through
Glitters thralling the greens .
Ah! I heard the buzz ,
Albeit i lavished the
Unstinting honey .
To see,
The golden peeping out of blue ,
I walked out
And i found me anew.
