Whatever man, I am not fighting anymore. I made my stand clear. I havent been offensive and never will be. People do ascribe meaning to what you say innocently.. what can you do abt that. I hate writing 'prosaic' stuff, its a pain.. but I was provoked. Peace.

Oopsie,
Ankur,
Did you misunderstand the silence of most of us??
Look man, do not overdo this prosaic crap on a site that is all about
verse, coz if you do, okay, hahahaha (biker that I chose to be at
this instant, I will guffaw at you, of course with no egos
involved).....
And if I may, I will also ask you to read your own post here, to
which I am replying so "rudely", do read what you wrote, and also
read your own P.S.
My P.S.? Shivam, either you close this thread or I will get really,
really prosaic on this group, supposedly all about verse!!
Warm Regards
Anand..

sorry you read a bit too much. It was a letter, I wasnt writing
poetry, you needlessly strained your head and took that leap of
imagination to see a negative intent in me which wasnt there. And I
didnt 'laugh at the poet', the poet herself didnt feel that way, so
if you got rankled it was because of your own interpretation. I have
seen and been near a well, I speak for myself and believe in my
experiences. It maybe limited, but that doesnt make me hesitant. And
I wasnt imposing anything for your kind information, I was wondering,
asking a question, and that was whether wells do make sounds by
themselves. I said I havent come across a well which I could perceive
by listening. Then I actually 'took the leap of imagination' and
suggested that the frogs in the well might make sounds.
And 'Freudian' made the frogs devilish creatures of our dreams. Now
if you can read destructive criticism in this you have to blame your
own
> overworked imagination. If expressing one's doubt is guilt, then
what do you call the crime of taking hold of a few words, colouring
it with ones imagination, ascribing negative qualities to it, and
victimizing a person on that basis of those words?

guilty, guilty! If you recall, 'twas you who wrote the critique and
laughed at the poet: "Freudian frogs, which hide during the day. Ha
ha." It's one thing to offer criticism but quite another to be
offensive and destructive. I dare say apprecation was far from the
contents of your comments. That is what rankled me.

> As for my comments in response to yours, well, simply because you
have your experience of a well you're hardly qualified to impose that
limited experience on others, yourself. That is why we have a
dialogue and share experiences that expand our vistas and
perceptions. Poets help us do that more elusively than writers of
prose but when we get what they're saying, including any ambiguities,
we experience their joy of creation, if even vicariously.
