NO, NO I'M NO OVID!

An expressive write.-  seema chowdhury

Oh, come on now, Satish....Ovid's are very pleasant creatures,albeit they do have a penchant for presenting themselves like a game of scrabble and transfiguing themselves into a bank check with typo's, and that cannot be transacted...Personally,i'd be more concerned if I were a "VOID" ! -  Frank James Ryan Jr./FjR

The is quite awesome. You have run me on your roller coaster and left me nauseous and a little giddy. "Hungry dogs chasing flies."! Yes, the dead should speak up and so should the living. I am recommending this one since it need more eyes. Excellent verse.-  Carlos

STONEWASHED

While I'm sure this will be crystal clear for some other readers .. for me it reads somewhat like a drag race with those cars that belch fire and there's a tree of lights to go on green ... the cars even have parachutes for braking assistance. Even the lake reference makes me think of the dried up salt flats where speed demons thrive.-Pen

As in your first line, I find your images themselves lap up at what you have abstracted here.
I like that this is a "draw", and, if indeed a game, no winners or losers.
And I wonder...can ANYONE "reach the end of thought"?
Even the best debaters will think around in circles...
Does walking on the lake correspond to reaching the end of thought?
Uncomfortable read, your final sentence in this: you do name a winner after all, the faithless. Not sure I lkie hat happens to the pledge.
Thank you for a thoughtful write.-windchime

HURTING DIVE

taking a moment
Welcome to LitOrg which, in my humble opinion, is one of the better writer sites around even though it's been going through some doldrums as of late.

After reading one more well written poem by you I decided to check out your 'profile' which reads like you are full of yourself due to the way it's written. I'll put that down to a possibility of different cultural quirks which may very well be completely appropriate in your circles. Perhaps it was written by someone else? If that's the case wouldn't the author of your profile bio need to be identified?

I also congratulate you on your noble endeavors at the SEWA MANDIR FOUNDATION and would happily surmise you know much more about holistic healing than I do.

Now that you've taken the plunge, perhaps you will take some time to interact with other members here at LitOrg and employ some holistic principles here too?- Pen

TRUNCATED

Wowser Of the two up on the marquee right now .. I like this one better due to it reading more powerfully IMO.
Two suggestions ... perhaps changing this:
The hands were busy in mending the walls of psychiatric ward.
to this:
The hands were busy mending the walls of psychiatric wards.
The other suggestion I have is adding an 's' to calendar.
White poison? Made me think immediately of opium poppies .. China White opium poppies to be precise.
scapegoats for slaughter .. loved that! I absolutely adore a word being turned around to fit another scene. Fantastic.- Pen

TURNING GRAY

Abrupt Awakening!
I have to agree with Pen. "Stripteaser" was jarring for me and interuppted a lovely flow of words and woke me up from a beautiful reverie that this poem engendered for me.-  Beatrice Boyle
Satish Verma is ferociously original

Yep devilish concoction there

I can read this as West Pakistan after Shock and Awe took place. Everything going off in different directions....

Reading your Bio I am sure there are many that wish India had not been sectioned. Two brothers and a sister born in India but I suppose nowadays they were born in Pakistan.....

It helps to be very old and part of history itself to truly understand it....

My explanation for why a vast majority are living in Babylon is "inexperience"..... I suppose it just has the edge over Armageddon.

Welcome to the latter stages of the Original Lit.org- Fairplay

I agree with Fairplay
While I believe some minor edits would improve the readability of this poem ... in fact what I think happened is that you edited a bit too aggressively which I find is something I need to do more often. However, I think it's blackberries - I would prefer to see a 'the' placed before 'moon'.

I wonder about using 'oceanic' instead of ocean. deep ocean eyes makes the connection I believe.

I don't know about using the 'stripteaser' in this poem unless you are looking for a less sophisticated moment amongst your pearls. Is there a more appropriate word to use? Of course! There always is.- Pen

http://www.lit.org/

BLEMISHES

I like the subtlety you use in imaging imperfections.
I like the universality of this, even if its context is a relating of 2 people.
I think your final stanza in this is brilliant!
How many poems have I read, here and elsewhere, that are exactly this!

Without A Name

Liked it. This too is of the same genre as I usually write. Poetry of purpose. I believe if poetry does not commit (it could be too beauty also; to human existence too) why waste words, pages, ink, and now computer byte and one's time? Thank you, Satishji.

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, USA

 Satish on this day of remembering all who served in war and passed before our eyes, how can we not read your work. You are a constant in the fight for peace and the tales of the horrors of war. With you pen, which opens the eyes, rather it be the Holocaust or the pain of real individuals split physically or mentally from our beautiful world; I bow to all who have or still do suffer. As always, I am honored to know you, through your profound poetry.-  Marcia Schechinger, USA
