Appreciation Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

Appreciation

Rating: 5.0


The gracious tree stands tall
blooms strung along her limbs.
Yet her trunk bows in gratitude!

The fully dressed tree
professes not to rank with
great poets of yore or now.
Yet humbly gives thanks
To all who enjoy fruits
From poet- tree.

Yet this little-known poet's
Shelf life liken's aged wine:
Expressions as free as birds
Sweet music when voice dies
fragrance to scentless roses,
effects the power of appreciation.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Pranab K Chakraborty 27 July 2010

The gracious tree stands tall; blooms strung along its limb- Now she stands before you bowed with gratitude. A great man only can utter such noble truth. From my surrounds we have heard it before from a 500 years old man's voice who is still alive in the belief of millions, Lord Chaitannyadev, whose length of action is considered like God. ' Be submissive like the grass, be patient like the tree' Your realization as a poet also has touched that height. In another school of thinking in political philosophy, also pronounce.....A communist should be polight first. So you have uttered the universal lines in your writing. And the rest is also like this. I become very greedy to taste 'Shelf life is like aged wine'. Yes, a river as long it flows, keeps the mark on the land........ Unique experience of reading.......write more......more........live long....... Regards, 10/10 pranab
