ANOTHER TRIAL

Smile ˜ Stuck amid a revolving door going round and round and round and round and round ˜ Smile, and there is no bloody revolution but, if there were then I would only count it as a blessing to the blind caught amid that spin cycle design ˜ Love-  John Rhinem

S.V. - I don't see the ABC structure, but really like the visions of this write, "I was not ready for this disgrace of religion." says what others take entire books to say...well done. ;-)-  Goode Guy

MY GOD

I'm with john .... I'd like to see you put some comments in the author's notes to explain where you are coming from in your poems. It isn't we are not interested in them, but rather we don't know what the heck you are talking about. I know poets stretch the imagination, but ...... I for one lose interest after reading so many and not knowing what you are saying.- e. Gene Myers 

you know, I don't quite understand your poems. I like them, don't get me wrong, but I just don't quite understand them. an explanation please? but only if you feel like it.-  John Armlovich

INTEGERS

something from nothing is
nothing
nothing from nothing is
something else;
a four-sided Rubix cube algorithm
is a theory of abstinence,
where can I go that is not here?

where are you in the solution of nothing?-  Kailashana

When you look for something
you find something else.-  Ann Waddicor

come from the sound of your words
echoed from the tombstones.-  Ann Waddicor

THE BRIGHTENED FIRE

This is such a gripping cry from the spirit. This clearly depicts all the injustices and destruction humans suffer as a result of war, famine and bad governments. The image of a hunch-back, tottering God amongst the destruction suggest this has been going on for ages.-  LightH2O

DROOPING

The eternal struggle or war between the upper and lower classes. The wounds so old or wise, they will develop whiskers. In other words this being such an old cause. TFS-  LightH2O

ENUNCIATION

I agree to become one of the crowd you become unconscious. Don't know what the crow represents? I get the feeling it may be a politician, because of the words that follow this poem. Thank God for the fire (righteousness or truth) which will dig up all secret bones... Thanks again Satish for another great work.-  LightH2O

FIRE AND STRAW

I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Satish. I hope to be able to read a lot more of your writing in this new year of 2012. Love-  Carol Brown

A SMALL CHANCE

"...aura of a lobbied avatar" this and other lines give me the sense this inspiration came to you as you typed in your computer? Your work is like a kaleidoscope it never quite repeats the same image and they are all intricate and beautiful.-  LightH2O

AGAINST THOUGHTS

"I smear the ashes on forehead of history and squander my poems. " Satish, your lines are so deep and gripping. It amazes me how you are so inspire to write night after night these great original symbolic/metaphorical lines. Best wishes in this new year.-  LightH2O

INTROSPECTIVE

Verma ji, full of vigour. The poem creates an atmosphere of darkness and horror in the mind of the reader.-
K.H.Prabhu, Kumta, Karnataka

GENERATION

'Each death becomes a daisy" Optimism of a poet. And the ancient lingua franca ought to be pregnant with meaning- U K Atiyodi, Kandangali, Payyanur

HALF-CLOSED LIDS


Vermaji, Very powerful poem. Better than your recent poems. Congratulations.-K.H.Prabhu, Kumta, Karnataka 

Very dark, bleak and graphic. True, we cannot wish away it. Thanks for sharing, Sir.-Seshu Chamarty, Hyderabad

OBTUSE MYSELF

I have long admired Satish Verma's brave originality, which is no doubt lost on many people. His poetry deals with themes of violence, religious and political divides, and so on. I don't pretend to understand all his lines, as they tend to be obscure. But the obscurity and originality are subtly and inextricably interwoven.-  butterflyred (Yacov Mitchenko)

Very original lines as usual, much enjoyed.-  LightH2O

FAINT WRITING

"You wanted to live
inside a shell
and step outside, in "

This bit was exciting and unusual it inspired me, I wish it had continued in that vein; could you? I should be most interested.-  Ann Waddicor

HISTORY

That I could be in your mind to discern each line...yet greatly enjoyed. Love this line "Do we need nitrous oxide to offset the gloom of hovering religion?"-  LightH2O

THE GOODBYE

a sad poem, but lovely. Hugs, :)-  Catie Lindsey

Such troubled times, but then again, from the beginning of time there has always been the struggle between good and evil. "...comatose truth was listening to lies"- LightH2O

A SICK UNCERTAINTY

"The hypocrisy and violence will wolk side by side." well written poem from the heart of a sensitive soul.- LightH2O

Up to interpretation, I thought of politicians spreading lies and the masses eating it up, many too tired to fight.-Yarbrough

GESTURES

Great poem, really like it. A great write.-Dave Walker

STONE CATCHERS

so interesting
are these 4 verses stand alone or connected
I find your writing mysterious and beautiful-A PAX

POURING

may dawn continue to tread lightly
as you awaken us all
to a stark fresh image of morning
lamenting want in the land of plenty
nice to read you in peak form again, Satish-Roger Wayne Eberle

SHAMEFUL

S.V.- Your poem intrigues me, yet i don't understand it much. In S3, why wax, meaning the moon? In S5, are the sins of love, the sins of the father AND the sins of children? Is love a sin? If you please...- Goode Guy
