Stripping to the Bones

I could listen to chaotic cries and dwelling in a hollowness that makes the particles’ shrivel and collapse, a feeling to share and a feeling to lose the fear of the seeds within… that will set one free, when the voices become music.-Dolphine29

Very touching.-Sagar D Rebel

the pain of holding family grudges. heartfelt poem.- treble-t
Such a moving poem. Emotion is there, tinged with sadness. I prefer your poetry in this layout, much more flow to the verses. -Tattoo Queen

DECAYED CENTURY

Wow Im impressed by your poem.-Brian Jani

From the Cherry Blossoms

The décalage is expressed with firmness, with determination. Did not understand the meaning of the word studing. If the Sun, which is at the epicentre, refuses to deliver, then hopelessness becomes the only fate. In my opinion, the poem is more on acceptance rather than on any expectation of a shifting paradigm. The challenge with the poet is that he never responds, never. So learners like me have to focus only on his poems, on nothing else. But I guess that should be enough. Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

One Hundred Moons

Oh, what a poem with a grim message! Terror and deadly terror instruments do seem to be the underlying themes of your strikingly written poems, Mr. Verma. -Padmaja Iyengar, Secunderabad, A P, India

Our mind too is a box with a bomb hidden. When it explodes epoch is created. -UK Atiyodi, Kandangali, Payyanur

The position of the poet seems to be determined with the singleminded focus on the instrument in hand. Excellent, as it were! -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

The Massacre

Acoustics are not working

This is one poem where I could see the poet really coming out. It does talk of hopelessness, thus a lie would be born; however it also prepares us of siutations which are always beyond our control - walls have no doors, meaning no exit, in my opinion. This could also mean a complete negation to bring in ideas of opposite points of view.

Acoustics used both in the literal and figurative ways to provoke multiple interpretations! Excellent, as it were!
Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

Very fine poem, Satish ji, on the present cult of terrorism.-GSP Rao, Hyderabad


This one brought a lump in my throat! The deafening spectre of terrorism has been so poignantly portrayed! Where terrorism succeeds, acoustics indeed fail! Respects Mr. Verma for this touching and sensitive poem!-Padmaja Iyengar, Secunderabad, A P, India

Getting Nowhere

well composed and crafted piece of work.-Chris G. Vaillancourt

Payload

Crowd at the Morgue

It is still not a reaction in my opinion, but a response to the strange madness where death will come as a bride. Every line has a drama, a shock, till the end.
Warm regards, -Supratik Sen, Hyderabad

The raw agony of failing sight in these terse lines touches the heart deeply.

A most moving read.-
