Sometimes

Rajagopal Kaimal 1954 (India)

Blank verse
Sometimes when
my world gets
too dark,
I close my eyes.
Then my world is
lit up again by
my imagination.

About this poem

I wrote this poem yesterday when I was having my morning coffee. The idea had been orbiting in my mind for sometime. It crystallised yesterday!
