That Winks Eyes! Poem by Ramesh T A
That Winks Eyes!
End of sixties college had opened in August for all;
First day of English class started with composition;
All were asked to write on some Shakespeare's Plays;
A new friend next to me had a strange doubt of a Play!
He asked me who was male and female of the two persons,
Romeo and Juliet and with laugh I told him who's who;
From there our friendship flourished with four more
To join in my group to discuss about many matters ever!
Many things have happened in our lives inn fifty years;
Yet, whenever Shakespeare's name is mentioned that thing
Surely comes to my mind and cheers me with joyful mood
And transports to that time of my life once again in fun!
Like in Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens we were friends;
Those days cannot be forgotten ever and that winks eyes..!
True. everyone will have the same doubt when they come especially from villages. we know who is MGR and Saroja Devi, but not Romeo and Juliet.
You are correct! I accept your view. Thank you for your poignant comment, my friend!

True. Everyone who comes from village schools will have the same doubt. We know who is MGR and Saroja Devi, but not Romeo and Juliet.
Thank you for your confirmation comment on my poem about Shakespeare class of the past, my friend!
