A poignant poem and a beautiful painting, by Nibedita, for Different Truths.
in this decorated balcony a flowerpot stands empty attracting attention and questions about its purpose and meaning and I did think about filling it up with flowers, fresh or synthetic I did think about it so many times but over the years this bit of unpremeditated space flowered on me with a surprising freedom only the flowerpot knows (Published in “Earth Fire Water Wind” 2020, Authors Press)

Exquisite depiction of both art and literature.
The painting is dramatic. And the brevity of the poem matches in its punch.
Like the analogy … Perhaps meant indirectly bet the woman and the pot. Her expressions say a lot
What a breathtaking piece of painting!!!
Your perspective on is very refreshing.
Very well knitted verse.
What a beautiful painting! And a well expressed verse .. The look in the girl’s eyes expresses her loneliness which is synonymous with the emptiness in the flower pot …
