LEAVES

There is an earthiness to this gritty verse on life, nature, and what is a natural death. How we fit in, I suppose, is how we deem ourselves to. Fourth stanza in particular, moved me. Thank you for this.- Pamela A. Lamppa

RAGS AND RICHES

Touching! -  LightH2O

A deftly delineated anatomy of despair. How does one assess his or her own worth? It's a question that plaques many.-  Chaos1214

It's been this way since time began, nothing much will change until sin is abolished! Great words of wisdom penned, Blessings-  Linda Winchell

WITH LICORICE

Whip slap kick and jive,
your voice is heard you're still alive,
the garbage rustles round and round
while you a chant make sound.
This is a fun sounding poem

IT HAPPENED

Your poem speaks if our times, the senseless killings of innocent victims - war is almost like a hatred of humanity.-  DannySy

MOCKINGBIRDS

I don't think Man has the desire that he once did to bring order to this stead we call Earth...Epochs come and go in many years by the scores...yet ostensibly, billions of years later, it be only our feathered life that understands the beauty of freedom and the serenity of positive reclusivity... If only I had 2 wings, what an orderly house I 'd possess!- Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

SERIAL DEPLETION

a clear concise thought, a very readable poem, well done Satish, regards, dale-  Dale Costello

BIRTH OF A POEM

Hello Satish - Again you have given us a profound statement with a penetrating message - this in your gifted writing. You write with such passion and conviction where we may a learn from you. God bless all those who serve and those who have given it all for peace. Sending sincerest regards.-  Nancy Crossland

Making History

Hello Satish,metaphorical mayhem as the futility and indeed horrors of war are laid bare.History is carved by guns and bullets and fatherless children.Amazing images! Thankyou! Wm.-  William Willis

Waking

Satish, again, you bring me to my knees in thought and prayers knowing I will never understand the crime of war and the bodies that bared the pain. Your window of words opens the truth of not only soldiers, but also innocents who suffered the horrors of Holocaust and war. It is a privilege to read your work, thank you for sharing your memories and your talent-  Marcia Schechinger


MOSAIC

Satish the "wings" of the brave who defy against unjustice, war or the time of the Holocaust may not be lit, but their bravery is ever remembered through your words. Thank you for your constance in fighting for peace in this world.-  Marcia Schechinger

PINK REMINDER

well done well thougt of..love and regards rita.-  Rita Singh 


SUNFLOWERS

To sum up my reaction to reading this in one word: WOW-  Shamsud Ahmed 


HUSHED SPEECH

Satish "...holding the shoes of his sons...", some lines in war-time poems hold a great impact for the reader, this is such a line. Though I am sure you have much "Hushed Speech" about the Holocaust and the innocents who suffered from this war of mental illnhttp://www.voicesnet.org/ess, your words give all the unspoken voices lifes. Thank you again Satish for opening our eyes with your bold and blundt metaphors which give us great insight to the goings on of the past.-  Marcia Schechinger 


THE CANDLE BURNS

Satish one can not start the new year without reading one of your verses. In this particular piece of art, one feels the silence of the heart that can only be felt by one who has experienced war on the innocent or the Holocaust. Some things of the heart can never be understood even though spoken. May peace in the world be found, that joy is found in the "brown eyes" of those who care.-  Marcia Schechinger  

NINTH MONTH

Hello Satish: I found your poem compelling; repleat with poetic phrases that left me wondering?! Paul Happy New Year!-  Paul Rainwater jr.

PEACE

Satish incredible, I am in awe of how you can form words into such amazing pieces. I know this is for peace in the world, but it held a kind of reflection for me personally at this time.-  Marcia Schechinger 

RETURN OF THE POET

I loved reading your poem, a very sad time when such beauty changes into a world of catastrophes, so well written! thanks for a wonderful piece!-  Shirley Thurmanjohnson

MORTAL BLUES

Satish again a masterpiece of metaphoric use. The wingless "monarch", the "tree of hypocrisy", the questions of the possible "temple" destruction - such thoughts give way to the questions of man and power/ peace and war. Thank you for sharing your work, your poetry is a fine example of displaying the truth of war and the holocaust in a tone of the cold reality of it not the pictures left unseen-  Marcia Schechinger said: 

CHEMISTRY

Satish a very emotional poem of the pain, mental and physical, experienced by those who were and are innocents or prisoners of war. "...I blink for a dot to punctuate the intelligence...", there is no "dot" when man hurts man. Greed and fear of those different make for such "bruises". Again thank you Satish for your poetry and sharing your experiences of the Holocaust, always admirably yours Marcia. - Marcia Schechinger

IN CLOUDS

Satish an emotional poem of youth and the remembrance that they never had to privilege to begin their lives as the war destroyed their path prematurely. Thank you for reminding us of all those who left this world early because of the insanity of the Holocaust. May peace find itself in this world soon, so as no more innocence are destroyed. Thank you Satish.-  Marcia Schechinger said: 

THE END

The last line had such an impact on the whole poem, it left me reflecting on the casualties of useless wars. Great relevance and timeliness!-  Cyn BuhainBaello

Such sadness to the futility of our dead flesh... glad our energy does not die.-  LightH2O

LAUGHING SKULL

Satish "...In my heart lies a trapped river...", memories of the days of war and the Holocaust. Through your words the river flows and gives us true life events of the horrors that an insane society can bring. Thank you for sharing the truth that we might mourn those lost, especially the innocent, to the greed of war.-  Marcia Schechinger

ANOTHER STROKE

"...the perfect insult to bubbling life... I was young with small eyes, full of water, " Such painful statements, the inevitable sock of cruelty who spares not, nor respects the pureness of a young soul.-  LightH2O

Strong, expressive & cutting. It jolts with a lot of humanity and inevitable destiny for all -"Death will walk on payments now..."-  Cyn BuhainBaello

You express the Dark Angel as both a personal and societel hemhorrage...physically incapacitated...mentally imbued in haunting flashback...and forseeing Death as a sojourn of many backdrafts and mirrors reinacting a lifetime of premature apocalypse that is finally ready to erupt...But after so many signs and sybols...warnings and prophecies....Are you ready?!-  Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

TO BE NOTHING

Hello Satish, This reads as a very reflective poem; self communication of the deep and enquiring kind. I find this verse very interesting, and consider your words to be self revealing and honest. My kindest regards and my thanks for sharing this. - Roy Kneale .

NIGHT RAID

Undoing

Interesting take on death. I understand a bit of this one.- Ronald Hull

THE VISITOR

This is such a deep and interesting poem, as well as the comment from Frank.-  LightH2O

Such "Revelation", said St.John The Evangelist to Satish...but the Lord is not only the Moon...But HE also be the Sun, theLight the cusp of Darkness....And Satish replied..."Give me a break, Johnny...I'm still in the Old Testament tring to figure out What King Nimrod said to the contractors of the Tower of Babel to upset them all to a point that resulted in The Moon, Sun, Light and Cusp of Darkness to cast fork on every tongue....//////////////////////Commentors After-Thought:This would not happen today, as The Contractors union would have stepped in and on the Moon, Sun, Light and Cusp of Darkness and cause a grand Annular Solar Eclipse, that would either burn or blind those workers at the top of The Tower-  Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

FARTHER AWAY

Those first two stanzas are so deep, the disconnecting of your spirit and the drifting towards eternity, it all sounds so spiritual yet a little sad in this lonely spiritual voyage of yours which only those that understand you can relate to. Well penned!-  LightH2O

Love lingers even at old age, it meets those who are farther or far from each other.-  marvinbrato

FROZEN

"they had come for a sit in, to resist, rebel or kill." Very sad to think that we can treat each other as aliens while we could live peacefully in support of each other here on earth.- LightH2O

The frozen senses of a decaying time , very well captured here in this sublime piece.-  Nikunj

FUTURITY

"Extended pain of centuries haunts the future." such futility of destruction, very well penned in this poem.-  LightH2O

REMINISCENCE

"The land of gold dust evokes a disquieting sadness..." I feel the mood of your sadness in this second stanza.-  LightH2O

DESTINY

I like your ending sentence ... much to think about.-  LightH2O

Beautiful opening line, very meaningful-  seema chowdhury
