I Thank You Venice By Dr. Partha P. Banerjee

Train stops'bus stops'boat starts the day

I cross the canal'cross the sand

Cross the country'cross their home land

Cross words'cross all my shyness

Started feeling better to start a poetic day

Lost word for almost six months

Lost feeling'lost touch'lost friends

Started writing many all kept un-finished

Got them back at once after I reached Venice

Ferrying to Lido ferrying P.te Roma

Ferrying here in the morning

Ferrying there in the evening

Food at mid sea food on a boat

I got back my passion'my life

Got my dream'my family'my wife

And my nice little sweet home

I thank you Venice

For giving me my poetry once again
