Empty Vessels Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Empty Vessels
A pot filled full maketh little sound,
Half baked boys boisterous more are found,
One, well-versed in knowledge
Has none of that rough edge,
Men shorn of worth vain-glorious get ground.
More a pebble rolls on,
Smoother shape tends to don,
Rolling stones gather gloss, get more round.

Empty vessesls make much noise is a CLICHE which You very well here elaborate poetry does not accept cliches all THE WHOLE world knows it AP
You said it dear poet. I like the frankness, which is lacking here. I also felt what you pointed out (read the following two feed backs) . My focus was on presentation. The cliche says a rolling stone gathers no moss, here it says it gathers a gloss, and gets rounder more.
A wonderful and insightful poem. Another great wisdom from a great Poet. This poem resonates with me while I was still in school. Students that are loud are oftentimes without knowledge of the subject matter when they are called to share their thoughts. It is like saying, an empty piggy bank makes more noise than a full one.
You have put it very well..., an empty piggy... and all you get is loose change. Thanks for appreciating the poem, of which I was not too sure, being a much-chewed subject matter,
A brilliant Limerick with lofty theme has been astutely delineated by you. I appreciate the way of presentation on remember. Thanks for sharing.
No, thanks for reading and appreciating, for, these are well-known facts. My contribution is only presentation.

There is much wisdom in these lines....! An empty vessel makes a lot of sound as does an empty headed person. A rough stone when polished with no sharp edges will have greater gloss. So also a cultured person. A poem of depth and beauty!
Thank you, you are spot on with your analysis.
