The Reciter

Inspired by the extraordinary performance of a female reciter

The lady was a little shy
When I requested her to recite
But her heart wanted to try
The poem that hovered day and night

She started with low voice
Her face started to change
Signs of sorrow and rejoice
Were shown to interchange

Now,she was another person
Her voice rendered artistic narration
She performed a special session
She was transformed to an incarnation

Recitation was her passion
She recited poems for years
Once a poem created impression
She recited it with tears

A poem is the product of poet's passion
The reciter presents it to the people
Poet and reciter belongs to the same mission
The message of the poem spreads like ripple

I admire the partnership of poets and reciters for creativity
Both of them have great devotion
Together they work for the betterment of humanity
The world should acknowledge their contribution

Writing and speaking are two different skills. So, if the poet cannot recite his own poem, a reciter is of great help to let people hear and not only read your poems.

Nice poem, zainul. :)

Thank you Dhaye for the admiring review.
When a poet dies or lives far away the reciter represents the poet.
In that case the reciter introduces the poet to the audience.
Isn't it?
Thank you for stopping by to grace this piece.

I agree! It sounds as if this woman had a special gift and was an inspiration to many as she recited her poetry. Many are unable to express words as this, and I laud her for sharing her talent!
You have done a wonderful job of telling us of her presentation!
