Although Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, there is great diversity there, from the hand-painted rickshaws that dot the streets of Dhaka to the longest beach in the world, seventy-five miles, in From the most From southern Bangladesh to Chittagong, to the jungles that are still home to the Bengali tiger in the west and the tea plantations in the north, Bangladesh is home to a friendly and hospitable people and an exciting destination.
Summer day in Bangladesh
Looking down to the ground at the sand under my feet, snaking slowly
walking
embers, on the Bengali beach;
the sky reflects puddles of water, liquid mirror,
dancers in the summer heat;
like an old song
like an indian drum
liquid street-
calling gentleman,
waves rolling and lapping;
small daughter,
polished golden jade skin, friendly waves
say hello to the earth,
outstretched and rolling hands;
sunburnt child
dark tan weathered skin, jump up and down,
cool, wet sand;
Nobody knows
Because-
so many people here on the beach today; aligning
white foam waves, Bangladesh, spring/summer waves
Cox’s Bazaar –
far beach
as you can possibly see with your naked eyes
Bangladeshi sun orange,
like a fiery summer fruit,
burning like burning fire
like the last goodbye of a Chinese dragon;
bengali girl
bends down to pick up a shell with his tender hand
try to understand
the unfolding drama
in the throbbing, throbbing river land of Bangladesh;
Music, with sincerity, passion, simplicity;
children-
love like an innocent flower;
tragedy, destiny, hate, hope;
Chittagong,
looking out over the ocean, dhaka drama
endless perpetual burning,
rotating movement;
sylhet tea pickers
at the end of the day, with my back bowed,
dead tired;
Hot sun on the back sack-
tea-black coal;
Long days-
tired, waiting for rest, Bengali poetic talk-
smiling, laughing, half-bearded faces;
wave drawing prints
In the burning sand of summer, Bangladesh calls,
The summer plan develops gradually.
