The following poem was inspired by Dr. Jayne Shatz's artwork, The Empty Bowl, which appears on the Poetry X Hunger website--ART - Poetry X Hunger. An Empty Bowl has no home carries no story- it walks the streets, crouches at crossings waits in corners to let the sun wash it clean. It seeks no fancy recipes no gourmet food just the residue, a spill of life- broken rice so often half cooked, stuck to the bottom of the pan with a coal lining. Bio: An engineer and management consultant by profession, Abha Das Sarma enjoys writing. Her poems have appeared in Muddy River Poetry Review, Spillwords, Verse-Virtual, Sparks of Calliope and The Ekphrastic Review among others.
