This may not be the right forum to write poems, but Dhoni has captured my imagination to such a great extent that I could not hold back from publishing it here.
Most of you will probably criticize me for not writing a proper review out here, but then if a person of the stature of Mahinder Amarnath can burst into a Punjabi song every now and then while reviewing a cricket match and Sidhu can burst into high voltage metaphors (a particularly interesting one was the one he said today : Indian players will always be on their tiptoes like midgets in a urinal) , then why cant I write a simple poem :-) ?
This is for all those dhoni fans out there
Wind from the East : a tribute to M.S Dhoni
a wind from the east, groovy and warm
blew to the west, and raised a storm
they say its disguised in a human form
and everything it does, beats the norm
a handful of sky in his dusty hand
sound of cheer on the fervent stand
waving the bat like a wizard’s wand
he weaves an enchanted wonderland
a shepherd, honest, simple and true
he is more than just a man in blue
Over time shall his glories accrue
but for now, a promise will do
that come what may, he will always be
a shepherd by the name of MS Dhoni
after his sensational performance in the India - SL series in November 2005
thanks for your patience
