The Ripples Poem by Shahzia Batool

The Ripples

Rating: 2.8


how many layers
has my soul?
i' m obsessed with this thought.
none can have a single look;
my heart is yet a virgin spot.
but painful fact
is only that
what disturbs me a lot:
i am what i am not...

i like this poem. may i suggest something? try to make it longer. you've expressed yourself really well, but it would be great if it was a little longer. would have given more insight.

excellent! no body looks at our soul.....the beautiful soul, people see the apparent acts of us and think that the acts are control by the soul or the works are the reflection of our soul. no body looks at our real good soul. Am i right?

Poetry expressed in the fewest possible words is the highest art. A deeply gratifying bit of work, Shahzia!

Ignore those who say longer. It is just right. I too have written one called - Who Am I - perhaps with a different thought in mind. Adeline
