Wow.. Really cool Satish! This is my newest favorite poem.. Very well crafted piece. That middle stanza is the impetus of the poem for me.

Thanks for sharing, and I am excited to read more of your poetry. Joel Thornton

Perception

Yes, I know what you mean purnimamanhas,, yet I too feel drawn into Satish Vermas words. It is as if somewhere deep inside lays a glimmer of primeval understanding, something I cannot really put words to. It just makes me stop, think, read again, carry on with my life and then revisit.- Netty

I am too new to this style pf poetry.. I always click your posts in the anticipation that it challenges my understanding. Clearly, you are too mature a poet for amateurs like us. And the best part, with out understanding much, I hit the like button :)-purnimamanhas

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

Butterflies like democracy are allegedly symbols of freedom ...That is unless they are caught in a free fall landing of fire and chaos...

Logistics

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

THE GUTSY CALL

From a stage, without a mic, close to the audience's ear - disparate ideas dance in a strange unity-Lady A

From dusk to dusk

A terrible poem that haunts us! Savagery and civilization -- inbetween the gulf. The desire to commit wrongs. Great ideas got compressed. Excellent! -UK Atiyodi, Kandangali, Payyanur

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

"Unimpeachable" your imagery used here my friend - - the shock at the end of the first stanza should sting every reader with the words..... "Man has failed the god" and because the journey to reach the citadel of truth is long and tough humanity needs reminders like this from poets who see and who care. Thank you Satish for posting this clarion call with the admonishment of "Why are you hiding the pen ?". ......... Recommended.- Fay Slimm |

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 

PAPYRUS

Hello, Satish Verma....
Your work was quite descriptive with the symbolic lines that you gifted us....Your world yearns for the oncoming promise...-Respectfully,-The Bag Lady

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

Effectively presents the hopelessness, helplessness and despair against the frenzy around us. -GSP Rao, Hyderabad

One can feel the images move in this sombre poem!-Padmaja Iyengar, London, U K

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!
Amen to your prayers, Mr. Verma. Thanks for sharing this evocative poem.-Padmaja Iyengar, London, U K

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

RITUALIST

This is outstanding.. I'm ready for the sequel !- Dave Wood

Dignity

An individual free from conceptualisation does listen to the vibrations of the only truth, alone. Day is not vision, night not in obfuscation for the traveller. Pleasure reading. Warm regards, - Supratik Sen

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

Deception is the rule of the day,where as cold blood killings dominate.....Here lays the truth that, a politician can never be sincere.- Nuru J.I Mhina

ANCIENT ADDRESS

loved the flow of it very much.- Neil Sarkar

Deep - samantha belfeld

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
