About the Poem & Poet
"Polythene Bag" is a thought-provoking modern poem composed by the distinguished Odia poet Durga Prasad Panda. The poem draws a striking metaphor between an indestructible polythene bag and the lingering emotional pain or hurt caused by human relationships.
Just as a polythene bag never dissolves in the earth's crust, makes a squeaky noise when touched, and emits a pungent smell when burnt, deep-seated emotional wounds cannot easily be erased. When buried deep inside the human heart, pain continues to germinate germs of grief without disappearing.
