SYMPHONY

Very powerful ending. The whole piece really built up to that point. So much of your poetry is so subjective, and really up to the reader's interpretation. This one made me picture a death no one noticed. Also, I thought of a tyrant (bulldozer) in his palace, not caring about people and their burning homes while he's being entertained. -Tarnish

DISASTER AND AFTER

You've got a talent, keep the pen always bleeding.-Bonaventure Onuabuchi

http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/

SUICIDE NOTE

Powerful!
Plainly spoken, unemotional and effective for that reason. It reflects the quiet horror of intruding on the most intimate of catastrophes with a news camera.

The deadening of sensation (salt without taste), loss of grandeur (drowned moon), and betrayal of goodness (black milk) all presage the act masterfully.-Larry Chamberlin the Godfather

DIALOGUE ON NON-DEATH

Well, I admit that it's not easy at all interpreting your thoughts, still I admire the creative imagination you have, it's very well employed in your poetry. I wanted to comment on some of your works long time ago actually.

Although I do believe that poems of nature must be of less complicated theme and metaphors, you did impress me with this controversial piece, it's either a volcano or a tornado, the kind of disaster which could evoke such imagery?!
~no analogue, no relics of blood
and a ceremony of water, soil and wood.
my very favorite lines, so resonating.
My thoughts might be wrong, still you did a very very interesting job, thank you for sharing.-GB

That Is

Could the world as we know it today be too much ruled by reason? Especially when there is still so much we don't understand in a seemingly chaotic world? It is indeed sometimes better to abandon the dangerous pseudo-reason to just "let it be". Thanks for sharing, this was a great poem.- Glen N.

I Do Not Die

Dark, haunting, frustrated. The themes and character of this poem are subtlety built and only portrayed by innuendo ("An imbecile / sky pours the eyes, nose and ears. / ... I am persona non grata / in my own home. The moon does not cry.") You are there corporally yet you had to open a lid to emerge as a metamorphized insect-like being; your vampiric nature does not allow you to die yet you are "stupid, courting [your] failures."
The poem has multiple layers, one being the apparent depiction of the monster, but another being that of an estranged father-husband, no longer involved in the lives or loves of his family, avoided and treated as dead to those who once made up his world. He cannot leave, but there is nothing there for him to stay.-Larry Chamberlin the Godfather

This poem is filled with deep metaphors and sentiments and I had to re and re-read it to get to its depth. This can go in any direction but it all leads to the fact that no matter what is happening around this thing/person/earth, it stays unattached and un-involved not wanting to know anything.-Meena Krish

Congratulations.
I have stated my opinion regarding your poetry before, it's fascinating how you use nature as a main character to present your different thoughts. You play with the words and employ the metaphor very well. So much deserving and glad to see this on the front page.  -GB

Judging Comment:
An absolutely wonderful abstract piece that made me think - this seems to be a beautiful ode to mother earth, in the sense that the earth will not be dead once all of mankind is dead, something that people often forget or refuse to understand. "I am persona non grata /in my own home." Those two verses struck me hard, since it speaks volumes about what we do to earth, we go about destroying the earth for our own needs, causing many species to go extinct. We're even inclined to remove weeds, or destroy anything that doesn't seem "pretty" in our own yards. It's a beautiful piece that touches on this, well done. - Senyru

Experiments

Satish, the lines,’If the words had the answers
to rebel against the eternal guilt,
to beat the death with pain.
Fighting
for the faded truths….” brings your poem to life! – It has an obliqueness to its subtleness. Who do you read?- favourites-minakshi.balasubramaniam

Exiled

"I threw myself in deep slumber
pledging not to play the game
for others and exiled myself within me
after the rebellion."
.....................
.....................
"The kingdom collapses in brilliance of sun,
the man starts another version of hate.
Acquires the blood of royal vein
and promises to become a beautiful cadaver."

Your above lines instantly reminds me Tagore's ~

"Along the indolent stream of time
My mind ferries to the void sublime;
On that vast canvas
Silhouettes pass;
They trampled ages
Those people countless,
Rushed since long past
Those triumphant robust.
Greedy of empire
Came Mughols and Pathans dire;
Their conquering chariot wheel
Stormed dust, flags hoisted in victorious zeal.
Now in the void there
I find not their traces bare.
In that blue serene
Age to age have been seen
Crimson sunrise and sunset,
Light and shade to alternate."

I find it highly interesting when our poets flash in their own works the solemn thoughts of Tagore with his lofty Himalayan height of aesthetics. But do you yourself see where you link with Tagore?
Rajat Das Gupta.-Rajat Das Gupta, Kolkata

Magestic Innocence

Dear Satish, read and re-read your poem and must say i loved each bit of it, so true how long the goodness would survive but yes another fact is that the goodness in a man never dies too, towards the end of your lovely poem you only said
it will rise on the horizon, a new moon on
a majestic innocence
of pure hills in sky!
a new moon will indeed rise …….as long as goodness prevails……one has to stick to one’s principles against all odds..liked your poem and today i read (sorry for not reading earlier) your profile too and felt the fierceness of your thoughts……..awesome -avi Mani ( @Savi_Mani )

How long will goodness survive? a very intruding question with, no answers… Well written poem… -Shamala Chandran ( @Shamala_Chandran )

An Emotional Onslaught
