Response Poem 2 : On Agha Shahid Ali's Stationery : Priyanka Nirwan

Stationery

Stationery gives reality to the virtuality
of my thoughts and imagination
It's various tools help me handle
and create my art.

Pen is the sword
which will inscrible my words
and mighty towards me.

Paper is like a blank canvas
which will be holding
and waiting for writing, drawing
and other forms of expression that will
take a look of my creation.

Paperclips won't let
my creation flip.
Stapler will stick
my sheets together in an order.
The highlighter will highlight

the keywords of my thoughts.
Post it note won't let me
forget the essential things
as they will be stick to the top of my table
and to the pages.

This is how my stationery
Helped me …
My stationery love is beyond
From a human’s perspective
As how I decorated it in my cupboard
And the variance of stationery I collected
And arranged .
