Do we need any type of advice from others?
Why other’s plight concern us and bother?
Are those concern only meant to be lip services?
Not to learn any for self from other’s misses
It has remained custom and merely a tradition
Purely academic interest without any condition
Sometimes fuel passion and serve as ignition
Thought blasts within without any ammunition
Catching the nerve point and it hurts us most
Simple dose of solace which means nothing in cost
It may be conceded at given point of time and heeded
Some more concrete action is often needed
It may invite ire when hollow promises are given
Increase in plights and condition horribly driven
Person may loose temper and hurl simple abuses
Everybody may turn down advise or refuse
It is not necessary to render it free
People may avoid and some times flee
Your presence may invite mixed response
Some may term it useless and even nonsense
You may feel bad but not react badly
Displeasure may be shown and accepted very sadly
If you can draw the lesson and read as judgment
Insult may be avoided for that very moment
It is better to render where it is needed
Hundred percent sure that it will be heeded
Valuable points may be noted and conceded
Concern and unnecessary worries may be receded
It will serve as medicine and immediate relief
Fast recovery and strengthening the belief
May enlighten the person with full confidence
Advice may have more weight with earning credence
It may invite ire when hollow promises are given Increase in plights and condition horribly driven......10

very true poem, some times advices are real irritating, when delivered at the wrong time and place... i enjoyed reading this poem..
‘If I look the flip side And abide: Healthy advice Is not a vice Nor a spice But a love and guide in disguise.’ Ms. Nivedita Nice write up. Ten +++ Sir Thanks for uncle-ly comments on my poem which I cherish. I’ve total 6 short poems you’ve read one. If you favor me by reading and commenting [rating too hooo! ! ] Regards, Ms. Nivedita.

thought the meter is not really constant or traceable.. it is good. the rhymes are good. so it read ok.. and the underlying message stands strong.
You know, sir, I generally enjoy your verse for its thoughtfulness. What I notice, however, is that your writing tends to be too abstract and general, not sufficiently grounded in concrete situations, although what you speak of has truth and merit. Moreover, grammar and syntax can use some improvement. Your poems, also, can be shortened. Am I to understand that these are translations of your original poems? If so, I'm almost sure they are very, very good. So, let's move on to the main theme of the poem. If I understand you correctly, advice, besides its valuable content, must also be about proper timing. As a would-be advisor, I have to take into account the mind set of the person whom I may wish to advise. If I find he doesn't seem receptive, if he's arrogant, then wisdom dictates that I remain silent. If he's my friend, and of noble character, then I will advise him, even though what I say may sound harsh and insensitive. He will understand that good advice will only help him improve. And he'll thank me for it. And sir, because I respect your work and because I feel you're a serious man, I hope you will take my advice: ground your poems a little more, and work on grammar and syntax. I thank you for another thoughtful piece.
