I don't see non sense or nonsense in this poem of Satish's. On the outside of it, I see less sense than the normal amount (tons) applied outside poetry. Inside it, I see an interior sense making something of itself (a poem).- Dick

RETURN ON D-DAY

Lift your pen and let your creative words flow onto the paper Satish. Thank you for sharing your writing with us. I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning. Love- Carol Brown

GIFTED DEATH

I feel the compultion to feed your vanity with quotes from me elsewhere a little rich Satish, because you never throw me so much as a dime here.
Thank you for the credit and link to this place.
Why not dole out a gun to every moron in town that cares to make a hit and get over the world good and proper without me in future. Thank you.- Céleste

PINK REMINDER

I can feel in my gut that this is a beautiful poem...
but, like the last one, I cannot understand it...
perhaps the problem is that much of the syntax and meaning are simply being lost in the translation into English...- Michael Firewalker

WOUNDED PRIDE

It is the language of golden teeth which grinds at excessive cold, excessive fear. Symbols have multifaceted beauty in your poem -U K Atiyodi, Kandangali, Payyanur 670307

I love this trailblazing! Thank you again for your kind presence here.
Manifold Blessings- Being

I have met the moon's sister
She and I delight
In circumambulating the sun
In the light of love
I have gained the friendship sought
Healing rains and fires
Play across imaginary fences

Words of silver woven through a tragic & true tapestry.- The Divine Fist

The Ritual

this is very interesting, but I am finding that such an intense overwhelming physiological and emotional response to simply being observed does not really make sense to me...what am I not seeing in your poem, Satish?
and what ritual are you referencing?
and how can simply being a nihilist result in such intense reactions?- Michael Firewalker

who is observing who ?

zorba wrote:firewalker this is not reaction ,it is called hawthorne
two atome at play

okay, dear sorba...but please explain that some more as it is used in this particular poem?
what I have read about the hawthorne effect describes it in far more positive terms than this poem does...
this poem seems to be describing an excruciatingly negative human experience, the source/cause of which remains a mystery, and therefore the purpose of this poem is so ill-defined as to render the poem itself meaningless, as I see it anyway...- Michael Firewalker

which leaves me at the crossroads with a bag of dirty washing

could jump off the page and land on its feet. Splendid.

PARTY

If only we would listen to our own lies
With the same loving attention
We pay to our truths-Being

ooooohhhhhhhhhh....I loved this Satish....and that
beautiful simplicity in closing...

The maniac depression divides
the butterflies into pathless lies.
The grass was blue
and sky was red.

(hope you've forgiven me for my scathing indescretion
a few poems back... )-myamberdog

the colors of new death
heated up Sky's lofty breath
enameled it on birds and clouds
until they mixed it up in lusty crowds
of molting feathered pride then spread
dark purple light upon a limpid white dawn- Michael Firewalker

Dear Dax, I am sorry for disappointing you all for not responding to . I am aging and a serious commitment in a social work saps out all the energy.Burning mid night lamp to write one poem a day is all I am able to do. Rest of the posting on websites is done by my friends. They were keen that it has to come out.Keep on looking at the work and bear with me.I hope I will find out some way to do it. Love - SatishVerma 

Thank you, S

Some good lines here, but I'm not really connecting with this--in part, because a great deal of it doesn't make all that much sense to me. Also, found the seemingly random changes in tense confusing; not sure if those were intentional.- Oleksa

Email by NS Murty

Dear Vermaji,

I read the poem thrice as it was interesting and intriguing same time. I searched for 'moonache' but could not find any meaning. I appreciate if you can clarify. I just took it as meaning 'moonshine' and proceeded for the time being.

Coming to the poem ... "self flegellation of waves on the beach' is both an excellent word picture as well as a good observation well recorded.

The epilogue seemed too soon, if I got you right, when two stanzas before you mentioned of an encounter between two eyes. Nevertheless, its fine. I thought the essay of truth into which the two plunged lasts longer.

And finally, the adjective 'illicit' before drops conveys some uncomfortable meaning to me... like incest...when you followed it with 'the upper lip of the virgin'. Is it deliberate?

On the whole your poem leaves the reader with a lingering fragrance of the virgin lips... as elusive and enigmatic as her heart.

best regards, NS Murty

FLUTING

Time unleashed from (ferrum) iron?
becomes pain
like a palm moon. *
*A clue to unnderstanding the palm moon would be nice.
Another talbleau vivant
has taken up life
in the road.
It was a night of rage. . It needs a connection, this rage.
or
Another tableau vivant
inhabits the road.
It's painted with rage.
This next stanza needs some clarity: fire and flute?
A frozen scene
undulates the history of fire
in the eyes of a flute.
Who was breaking
the clouds
wading in reeds?- maggie flanagan-wilkie 

The leaps in thought don't work for me. See Maggie's comment above. It might be that I lack the cultural references, like palm moon. Is that a moon in the palm of the hand, or a moon in the palm trees, or a tattoo of a moon in the palm of a hand?-Rick Stansberger 

Soaked In Blood

Don’t throw the blankets
