Fire
Focus
You've it in you
To make it big
Lady, you've come
A long way
All because of
An earnest urge
To learn, to excel
Much sought after critic
Interpreter of verse
Slipping with ease
Into a poet's shoes
Lady, you've it in you
The fire
The focus
That will take you
To greater heights...
Yes, let this poem take us all to greater heights by acknowledging those who inspire, befriend, acknowledge and encourage us. I liked the tempo and words you choose.
It is rare to find a poem/s appreciating and encouraging another fellow poet. Both the poems though different in contents convey the fact that the poet Shahzia is a firebrand & a fighter not to buckle down due to the unfavourable circumstances/condition. She may have childlike countenance but carry a mature head on her shoulders. She always enthralls us with her insightful comments, constructive opinions and suggestions. She acts as a teacher and an appreciative critique. I fully agree with poet that Shahzia is the one who is bound to attain greater heights. I am fortunate to get my recently released poetry book ‘ Children of Lost Gods’ reviewed by her and am astounded to find her range to look into the minds of the fellow poets. My best wishes to her in all her endeavours for attaining excellence in the poetry world.
I will say Amen to that. Shahzia is indeed passionate about her her callings. She is all the poem says about her and much more. Again, I say well done to Indira...bless...
This adds a great recognition of one great lady by another. Shahzia, indeed is fierce when it comes to poetry, the instinctive indulgence that she develops with ease to praise and encourage young and the novice participants in the craft of thoughts is a celebration of her entrepreneurship of literature. I take this opportunity to thank you both from the core of heart
i nice tribute to a superb able poetess, critic, linguist, teacher....... and of course the person too.... Lady, you've it in you The fire The focus That will take you To greater heights... so true! whether she chooses to do something about it, is an altogether different story.
