Letter From Italy Poem by Nilika Athauda
Letter From Italy
Along the letter's passages
sentences and words
though I read with eagerness,
compiling all the items she's sent,
to find four simple words
which she has forgotten to send
with ship full of merchandise, as usual.
Hopelessly beaten I sat on floor,
as years I have waited
for her to return
Yet:
She has forgotten my age and size
as well as to say
"I love you son"
Shattered expectations of a loving son, expressed wonderfully. Truly touching. It really deserves to be the poem of the day. Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Very sad the pain indeed. An excellent writ. Lucid but much penetrative. Little lines but it has crossed a distance through the time. Unique....Yet I tell, mother / father reminds his/her son....the cry is matcheless......Pranab k c 10+++
Very sad from the perspective of a child. Strong write indeed. Lucid but much penetrative. Little lines but so long distance it crossed through the time. Excellent...........................Yet I have to tell, mother reminds her baby, this cry is matchless...........................................................Pranab k c 10+++
Very touching, because I know money or gifts can never Compensate for a parent love or hugs and kisses, but if they only knew that....
Congrats. a well deserved poem of the day, with the desired magical words- Yet: She has forgotten my age and sizeas well as to sayI love you son
a package filled with items in a way says I love you son..the 4 words most wanted for the poet of this poem to hear..remember love can be expressed in many different words and action speaks louder than words..

Should a mother use the four letter word To express her heart seemingly unknown When she is in the very air you breathe And in the restless waters that endlessly flow........ Very good poem by Nikila. I invite you to my page too....
