Analysis of A storm in the tea cup

Anjam Abbas

A storm in the tea cup

I belong to human race
The crown of the creation
Truth is my worst enemy
Lies are my girlfriends
Sitting on the wings of flattery
I fly to the heights of egotism
Selling my leisure
And all my pleasure
I bought a snare of busyness
Letting the gigantic world aside
I've locked myself up
Ragging a storm in the tea cup

(Anjum Aziz Abbas)

He keeps his self made shell in which he resides from where he does not like to step out the threshold physically but he wears a sharp nerves, perception and deep delved outlook. Confining himself within his gloomy closet, he has had a vast stance and deep rooted awareness of the universe and its inhabitants. With his sharp and agile sensitivity, he has a power of creeping into the bosom of things and portrays the mysteries with the ink of captivating words and brush of imagination. I composed my first poem at the age of 14. i am a student of P.Hd in English Literature. more…
