MONILIA

I really appreciate the depth of your poetry, and your ability to paint a picture with feelings. I particularly like this stanza:

"A raw caveof white pain, drags the deity out
and dances on hawthorns.
The butchers become sick,
sick to the bones.

However, I wonder why you don't comment if you do read our poems. Did you notice you submitted *Hungry* 3 times? Much like a day's worth of hunger?- Kailashana

Satish: How could a poet like you talk about monilia without mentioning vaginas? - tsultrimserri

Because he's candid but not sure of its origin?- Kailashana

Because anemones don't have vaginas?
Because the sweet dream of democracy has been replaced by the stinky (un)reality of plutocracy?
Because surrealism owes it to itself to be forever on the run?
"Get Happy," Bud Powell

Dick: Are you absolutely sure anemones don't have vaginas? To me, they look like that's all they are, and my Rorschachs have always been normal. - tsultrimserri


he is so sick
he cries
and cries and cries
so sick he lies
there
as it floods
all his vessels
thickens
all his blood
into white
and whiter mud
until he dies- Michael Firewalker

BURNT TASTE

THis poem was written from your soul, thanks for sharing.- Westly Shaw, USA

http://www.voicesnet.org/

ON BURNING COALS

Satish as always, your metaphoric poems of memories and longing for life to have been different are so well portrayed in your masterpiece of poems. I, who sometimes weep for life to be different, read of your history and am ashamed for I do not deserve the same "stars" to wish upon as those who suffered so gravely through war. Thank you for opening my eyes on trivial matters, that I might see the real pain in the world of war more clearly.- Marcia Schechinger, USA

GIFT OF LOVE

STREET FIGHTING

Satish, I truly love this from your pen. It reveals much and it touches the heart. Take care.- Elizabeth Olesen, Denmark

Satish "...streetfighting had overwhelmed the crescent moon", it saddens me that we can not settle problems in life in peaceful manners. Your words speak of peace and I with you shall always seek for the color of a "painless time". Thank you for your poems that hold great imagery and your continuous fight for peace.- Marcia Schechinger, USA

http://www.voicesnet.org/

PLASMA OOZING

Satish a powerful poem for poets where the mind and words when disected display the hidden meaning in our works. "...plasma oozing from our buried themes", each writer is healed or is a healer through the words they write. "...you must undergo splendid mutuation, to read the grains, the suns, the rains...", outstanding lines you perfect in every poem. Thank you so much for sharing your works with us Satish, I marvel at the way you pen.- Marcia Schechinger, USA

http://www.voicesnet.org/

LIFE DEMANDS ONE THING

Satish your always astounding portrayal of the difficulty in healing sets my heart ablaze with empathy of those who suffered and died in war or as prisoners of war. "...The weaning of wings was difficult...", magnificent metaphoric usage to describe the loss of innocence. Thank you Satish, that we might continue in awareness of the past and correction for the future.- Marcia Schechinger, USA

D-DAY

FRUITS FALL LIKE DREAMS

Satish, a stirring, realistic poem of what we must face and come to terms with the world around us. A wake up call to see beyond what is there and look within as well. Philisophical and talently executed. A fine piece of poetry. Best wishes to you.- Nancy Crossland, USA

http://www.voicesnet.org/

LOYAL TO DEATH

"...Standing in the sun I watch, how we are dismantling each other...", your lines are a powerful weapon against war. "It was a sad chaper the beginning of violence-", I shall never understand how we can not be brother and sister on this earth. Thank you Satish for another amazing metaphoric poem for peace.- Marcia Schechinger

DEAF CITY

Satish how fragil is the child's heart when war and fear are learned behaviors. With intricate details in your metaphoric verse we feel the pain of a lost country, "We are searching our destinies amidst the ruins" as the "Heart misses the beat...the sounds of a deaf city". Once again your remembrances of war, bring sadness and a special longing for peace. Thank you Satish.- Marcia Schechinger

http://www.voicesnet.org/

BODY RECOMES THE PATH

Satish your poems stir the readers with the reality of war and the holocaust of man. "...to think or not to think was a dilemma. A backdrop of the prisms always made you crazy...Children of grief coming through the open doorways...", you words are the chords speaking for the angels we lost in such horrific events. I applaud you, as always, for your continuous work for peace and knowledge. Thank you Satish.- Marcia Schechinger

http://www.voicesnet.org/

LIVING LEGEND

Hello Satish. I find this an interesting and thought provoking poem. Thank you; my tired old brain needs stimulation these days. Regards.- Roy Kneale

http://www.voicesnet.org/

THE HABITAT

Satish your work is always amazing in the way it can clutch the heart and bring the reader into the world of those imprisoned by war and fear. "...The soul sings in withering tone for the departing stars...", each line holds so much meaning. Your use of nature in your metaphoric grace to describe the world at war is nothing less then superb. As always, I am a great admirer of your work. Thank you Satish.- Marcia Schechinger

CONTRASTING

Satish,
Of course what one receives and perceives in a poem is not necessarily what engendered the poem for the poet.
But in this poem I feel such a delicate comprehension of the subtle factors of illness.
Of how our souls obscured lead to imbalance, and how we humanly all live out the consequences of this....
Blessings on your seeing, blessings on your healing work. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us. - Being

DUALITY

Dear Satish,
This one in particular strikes a chord for me.
Thanks for posting-  Dick

Some of the stanzas, so self-contained, are poems in themselves.
The last is breathtakingly dramatic for several reasons. One, I think,
is the fact that the lines are of almost a uniform # of syllables.

I find the first stanza particularly evocative, too.
There is a some mystery, for me, in several of the stanzas,
a clear image and a mystery.- realnothings.

Wow wow wow wow
how may it be you write so bitter and yet so sweet
so ugly and yet so exquisitely tenderly beautiful
so dark and yet flaming in magnificent spectrum of saturated rainbow colors
I love your writing, Satish Verma- eldyheart

Disappearing like an arrow" is also extremely potent for me.- realnothings

BLACKWATER

Satish: You're beginning to come through to me, and i like it. Let me be presumptuous and say: I feel you miss the old India, of the sacred river, and regret what Indian modernization is doing to your country. I could say more, but i won't except to add that i found the last stanza worthy of repitition and editing. The images are really good as is the heart and mind they arise in. TS

The liberated soul of nation
indulges in cocktails of free erotica.
In beginning there was a sacred river;
now in bed, dry bones
were found soaked in release.

The liberated soul of the nation
Indulges in cocktails of free erotica
In the beginning there was a sacred river
Now in its bed, dry bones
Soaked in release- tsultrimserri

I believe I also have received the communication of these images.
It could indeed be India...reading, I thought it might be America.- tsultrimserri
