Question

All stanza of poem mother's day shiv k kumar

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:We do it differently  

in this dark continent.  

Not just once a year  

a string of spurious verses  

ensconced in a bouquet  

shaped like Chinese house of dreams.  

My mother is more demanding -  

an obeisance at each sunrise,  

like a devotee throwing a handful  

of yellow rice to the birds.  

Holding a candelabrum before an idol,  

Just once a year  

Is desecrating it.  

Whenever I see a caterpillar slouching  

towards a pansy's eye,  

or hear ancestral voices in a wind's howl,  

I invoke my deity -  

sometimes twice a day.

Answer 2

In the poem "Mother's Day," the poet Shiv K. Kumar talks about the difference of culture and the way of recognizing the efforts of the Mother. In the western countries people celebrate the second Sunday of the month of May as Mother's day. On this day the children give gifts and bouquets to their mother and acknowledge the efforts of the mother. The poet considers these to be superficial and not natural. He then tells about the scene in India. In India, it's not a single day which is celebrated as Mother's day, but here every day the efforts of a mother are acknowledged. The poet says that the efforts and the service of a mother can never be equated or acknowledged by giving bouquets or gifts to her. In India, he adds that a mother is treated as a deity. She is praised and worshiped every day.
