A Musical Entreaty Poem by Rajesh Thankappan

A Musical Entreaty

Rating: 4.8


I blew air and the pipe piped
A tune full of joy and delight,
I blew the pipe for sometime on
The tune soon turned into a song.

Had I left the pipe alone
It would never have gifted me a song,
So let’s make good the opportunities of life
O my sweetie, come be my wife!

Though I am not a complete introvert Rajendran-ji, I do certainly admit to such tendencies. Thanks for reviewing the poem and for your wonderful comments.

WOW! What a message! And that call to the sweetie is the icing on the cake. How did you call yourself an introvert recently, Rajesh-ji? !

Had you left the pipe alone you would not have made us all smile. You just made me think of the Pied Piper. Thank You

the last line just was a swift turn to the whole of the poem...very beautiflly you have highlighted a message that whatever opportunity comes our way, we must make good use of it, rather repent at a later stage
