भारतीय विणकर
विणकर विणे, भल्या पहाटे का आनंदी आणि सुंदर वाटे धीवरने जणू पंख निळे वाहिले आम्ही विणतो, तान्हुल्या नवोन्मेशाचे वस्त्र पहिले.
विणकर विणे, कातरवेळी का दिसे तेजोमय आणि चैतन्य डोळी मयूरपंख जणू जांभळे पाचूचे मलमल आम्ही विणतो, नवतारुण्याची शाल कोमल.
विणकर विणे, शितचांद राती, का असे स्तब्ध अन् गंभीर संगती शुभ्र जणू पिसारा, शुभ्र जणु मेघ पांढरा, आम्ही विणतो, उपवस्त्र अखेरचे देही पांघरा.

Apart from being a poetess she was writer as well as strong political activists. Though the poetess highlights the craft and skill of the weavers. She speaks about the three important stages in a man's life that is birth, marriage and death and relates them to different colors and different times of the day.The poet talks about three types of dresses that the Indian Weavers weave at three particular times of the day. Metaphorically each time and the dress weaved in that time symbolises a particular stage of life. The poem has three stanzas of four lines each. The rhyme scheme of the poem is aabb as first line rhymes with the second and third line rhymes with the fourth. The poem is in conversation mode as the poetess ask the questions to the weavers and the Indian Weavers answers the questions of the poetess. The language is very simple to understand but it's a figurative language because the poetess had used many figures of speech like Simile, Metaphor, Alliteration and Imagery.The prominent figures of speech is Simile The special Features of the poem is the poetess had created the beautiful picture of the artistic work of the Indian Weavers. At the same time it has implied meaning because the poetess not only talking about the various time of the day but also about the three important stages in human life, different colours and its significance in life. The moral of the poem is as day passed through various phases we human too has too pass through different phases of life and evey phase has its own importance.
