The Old Milk Maid of Kamatipura
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1
she sells milk in polythene bags
her milk is better than the Nagori milk she brags
her old frame from home to the street she drags
she looks at me with hate each time i shoot her picture
thinking perhaps it is for celebrity mags
besides her the dog his tail wags
kamatipura sand bags
her huband dead and gone no more
this old lady s nags
hides her money in the folds of her saree
no handbags.
the old milk maid of kamatipura
now will relive through technorati tags
this is a featured picture at buzznet some comments

A real strong person she is, here in the us not many on the streets like her there. The elderly live in nurse homes or are taking care of by nurses

thank you myopic buzzbot
my pictures street pennies and pence
finally sees emotional sense
prior to this he was pictorialy dense
images , imagery are made on the emulsion
of a mans soul
not by camera or lens
see ahead to a future
featured past tense..
