Hi there Subuhi, Sorry for writing in so late and the reason for writing to you directly is, I do not believe in posting up lengthy non-poetic posts on a board that is basically meant for poetry.
I really, really do appreciate your felt feedback. Sincerely and honestly speaking, this was something I wrote a bit back and thereafter couldn't get time to tighten and edit. In fact, I do not belong to the metre (constructing poetry) school at all, I write poetry because it is a much-needed release to me, because writing poetry makes this mad world in which I live seem a bit more saner when I have "done away" with the voices in my head. I have been called someone who's writing is very visual (prose, poetry or copy) and that's a characteristic feature of my writing, sort of ingrained in me. That's the basic reason behind the imagery when i link up memories, graveyards, bats and lizards. The overall idea then was to try and do justice to the desolateness I had in my mind. Whew, I would rather stop here, I have always believed in the saying "poetry is what is lost in translation" and extend that a bit and you would agree when I say "poetry is also what is lost in explanation". Once again, thanks a lot for your honest and felt feedback and do share some of your poetry on the board. Metre-illiterate that I am, I may not "crit" your poetry but if it touches the core of my being in any way, I would feel you have made my day. Rgds, thanks and do good poetically, Anand --- Subuhi Jiwani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Anand, > > I second Vivek�s comment about the last two lines. ------------------------ Yahoo!
