Poets have lined the streets
Men women and children
Musicians and dancers
Artistes jugglers buskers
The full moon is glowing
And the stars are shining
Menon writing shloka
Such a brilliant fourth line
Geeta weaving third line
Masterful tapestry
Doctor Swain's train of thought
Second line toughly fought
Just one more line to go
The crowd is now screaming
Want to see complete show
A meaningful shloka
The three poets confer
The honour must now go
To poet with pure heart
And such a soulful mind
Now such peaceful silence
From crowd of great respect
Poets are searching sky
'The Word' completes shloka

You have sincerely appreciating your fellow poets, Unnikrishnan S, Dr.Geeta R.Menon and Dr.D.K Swain.They were very active poets writing marvelous poems.For some reason I do not find their new posts.
2) cont'd: Yes, Bharati, I too have not been able to find their new posts. I concur with your assessment of them. Hopefully, the situation will be resolved soon because I had really enjoyed their poetry and the communication.
Bharati, these poets, and you and others, deserve to have tribute poems written to them. In this case, it was quite a challenge as it was my first time being introduced to shloka. Thank you kindly for the 5 Stars.
