I feel proud of Dr John`s profound knowledge and amazing ability to handle the variety themes with mastery of diction.His innumerable works on GOD and SPIRITUALITY remind me whether John Donne and George Herbert are back alive again through him to recreate the Metaphysical poetry.I am not a believer and so I would like to request Dr John to ponder over those themes which are quite human too..
I agree with what Raul Castelan has stated about your goodself, Dr. John Celes. Also I am glad to see your first rank among all the Indian Poets. You should reach still greater heights in this forum world over. God bless you, my dear friend.
From what I've read so far, I think this poet deserves so much from us. I think that he shall be read in the centuries to come. I so much see a world where his poetry will be talked about in the classrooms. I see that he holds diction, rhyme, elegance, and wisdom in his poetry. Let me not forget detail too. He is a true lover of God that makes me wonder how the Lord shall receive him when he leaves us from this world. I only am sad that I hadn't heard of his poetry earlier than I should have. Anyway, I see brilliance also in his poetry. He holds no objections to any subjects that comes his way. I admire a poet that does that. I am a lover of poetry that has read so many poems. I have found another CREATIVE POET to talk about to my friends. I am fond of writers that are diverse, and I see that in this poet. His attitude towards every living thing is what really entices me to read some more of his poetry. He has a way with his pen, and he has a way with his thoughts. Delightful, are the words he uses in his poems. I am glad to have come across his poetry because I have been touched by it. Well, I've said so much about this PROFOUND POET that I don't think I've left anything out.
GOD BE WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY TOO! ! !
A Doctor and a Poet.
Great Job! !
