Critical Appreciation Of My Poem Something I Look At-54 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

Here is the critical appreciation of my poem SOMETHING I LOOK AT-54 by non other than Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, eminent poet and internationally acclaimed literary critic in beautiful words.Thanks and gratitude sir for your words of appreciation

Dear Smruti Ranjaniji,

Your poem titled"Something I Look at-54"is an ample tribute to women and the yeoman services they render to humanity in multiple ways, a woman comes to the life of a child as a mother, she bears a child for ten months, delivers him/her with much pain, tends him/her with much consideration and care, takes him/her around to show the moon in the sky and teaches him/her to reach out to scale the difficult and torturous terrines in life.It is imperative that a woman of such magnanimous nature should not be banished and taken to the wire, instead she must be nurtured and taken care of under any trying situation.She is an embodiment of what the child is, the denial of her existence is a denial of life itself in all its various dimensions and strands.Till the last moment, the poem is kept in a state of suspense with respect to its theme, but at the end, the suspense is removed and the clear idea is ushered in slowly but resolutely, this poem is all about a comparison between a mother and poetry, the skill of poetry writing is equated with motherly affection and that skill must not be destroyed by anyone on account of many factors influencing life, instead this ability must be honed and brought up steadily in one's life, so that this authentic skill can furnish us with everything and anything in the course of time.Let us all embrace the poetic faculty which does have the motherly affectionate side to it all the way.Kudos to you for composing such a poem of magnificent nature.

SOMETHING I LOOK AT-54
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Never is the woman a burden
who carried you all along
never can she be a burden who put
you on her shoulder to show you the skyline
never she is a liability who lived her whole
life for you and inculcated in you
the drive to look at the moon

Don't kill her when she is still alive
If you torn herheart into pieces
each piece will have your name inscribed
if you bringtears in her eyes
each drop will reflect you and tell
different stories, each more vivid and poignant than the other

It is she incarnate in you
peep into her heart
it is you who reign there
don'tbreak it
you will only break yourself
don't put fire in that beautiful garden
you will only burn yourself
look at her eyes which only see you
listen to her heart that only beats for you, she is flowing in your every artery and vein, her whole being is you

Look at her
the poetry of love and dedication
only needs a bit of it
to carry her a little further
don't think she is a burden, she is your first and last line of defence, always with youfor ever
make her life cup full
you will get the ocean in return
