Annette Abraminko
This morning I opened the Forward Petry Site and read two one your poems (which I commented on) and I was truly moved by your words. Your words are unaustentatious illustrating stark truth without judgement. I find that illuminating and tremendously profound. I am moved. You paint more profoundly than an artist with oils and allow your readers to absorb your words and take from them what they wish or need for their own journey without apportioning judgment of any sort. This is a great lesson and I am grateful.
After reading the two poems, I read what you had written about yourself and then visited your Sewa Mandir web site which I read with interest. Please could you tell me where I could read the research papers in English?
I wish to thank you and I shall continue to look in Forward Poetry to see what else you share there.
Kind regards, Annette Abraminko

I so sorry Mr Satish Verma, this is the third poem in a row that I've added to my favourites. And I feel like I'm slightly stalking you. The atmosphere of your poetry is unrelenting. It compliments this pitch black morning I am sitting around in. You have the gift of rhetoric that captures the space between man and his environment.I genuinely love writing poetry - though I may not have that much on this site. But when I read your poetry, you make me love reading poetry even more. If it wasn't for the fact that have errands to complete, I put the kettle back on and read all of your other entries.- Olm

In a world of the living dead, where stereotype thoughts are nurtured as a safe measure, where hatred, anger, judgement, power, revolt are the key for looking at things around us, it is little wonder that the mysteries of living in peace and at peace with their pleasures would remain locked for good. Much enjoyed! -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

Each thorn was crying
For me, it is an image of an abondoned garden, or of a corner crying with possibilities neglected. Riding on your poem is risky, it takes you in and throws you off... however a pleasant ride indeed! Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad
To see the innocence of the sin--an oximoron indeed! How dexterously you coin words! A gift indeed. -UK Atiyodi, Kandangali, Payyanur

BLOOD DRAPED
You possess a rare quality and one which is admirable, you are honest with your thoughts and this causes your poem to seem all the more raw and relevant to the human condition. Your style is similar to Bukowski's. Keep writing. - Narc Road Pie

The Signs
This violently ignorant world we are mortal members of could certainly use a concourse of song birds in an effort to open the eyes of the masses whose mission of hate with their religious beliefs as the excuse for their abhorrent,murderous acts as these ignorants continue to scoff at the Moon that shines on every front porch by continuing to discharge their anathema (as you say), via the back door.- Frank James Ryan, Jr. / FjR

Aloneness of fire
I see the fire as that of liberation, of enlightenment. Random cry is of course insanely in vain, but bold and firm. Passive euthanasia is certainly a poetic invention. - Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

Asia at the Edge
Superbly expressed agony. -GSP Rao, Hyderabad
Every line in this poem comes as a wound as well as with a healing power. The action of the I is also a suggestion, but that of a doer, not as a preacher. Excellent! It is such a privilege to be member of YS that you get to read and learn from poems such as these! Wonderful choice of co-text! Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad
This moving poem on war, violence, healing and peace took my breath away!

History was Walking
Tragedies of war and unnatural deaths happen in spite of our faith in an omnipotent, all-caring and protective 'Lord' - attributes perceived by us as hallmarks of the Supreme. We absolve the Lord of failure to be just with our convoluted reasoning. The poem makes us ponder. -GSP Rao, Hyderabad

Doves had stopped flying
The poem has a strange combination of poignance and acceptance. Excellent poem replete with poetic functions. Let us wait until the earth refuses to conceive and doves cease to fly. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a way out. Thank you for sharing this poem. Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad
Blazing trail
Yes, thoughts! The second stanza is pretty much open in my opinion. The image of water has come out superbly to depict the ramifications thoughts have over us. Thank you so very much for sharing this poem! Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

I was closing the weeping chapter
Wonderfully philosophical. And the talent to present symbols. A poet's heart is exposed.-UK Atiyodi, Kandangali, Payyanur
'I was closing the weeping chapter' is here to stay until we do away with our respective angers, worries, intolerances, mistrusts, jealousies, expectations, blame-games and a whole lot of other Gracelessness. To build a new world, we have to build the Self. I am the blast, I am the demon, and I am the God, 'I am Brahman, and this is the only truth' amidst a pack of lies. As long as there is I and You, and not the only I, there is no liberty from the blasts in any form or shape. As usual, I have read this poem a number of times while being at work! Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

AGONY
First off, allow me to say that the first two opening lines are absolutely perfect. It truly sets the mood and a vague mental picture in mind. The next few verses give me the feeling of death and storm arising, agonizing the small voice of a frightened boy (the frightened choir becomes dumb). Then, the last two verses show that same boy in old age, agonized the same as ever before (the forgetful, yellow bones of a thin father). But, even though his youth was poor and crude, he still reaches to it as though it were somehow better (with a gift to fathom the flute, takes hold of the wind).
Maybe my interpretation is not nearly what you meant, but that is the sense I gather. Nevertheless, wonderful!- JLavender

Genocide
Excellent write!
How can you acquiesce is the question and the wonder! A new model in the making as pointed out by the poet is because of a number of reasons, most of which I dare say are misguided and meaningless that turn the nature hostile, the sky guilty. Warm regards,-Supratik Sen, Hyderabad
