Double Century Ode To Ph Poem by Jayatissa K. Liyanage

Double Century Ode To Ph

Rating: 5.0


Whilst the world was in slumber
Inner myself made me to wake and act
Opened a fresh chapter in life-book
Holding a weapon, little mastered, I have

Montage of the Observer Magazine
Held the podium, free and open
Mediocre being exposed, before Masters
Played liberally on, unto the lap of PH

All continents and cultures, within few years
Linked via codes of human feelings
Formed associations of multi colors
Shared emotions breaking all barriers

Haiku, sonnets, prose poems, ballads
Epistles, duplets and many more of the sort
Political issues, economic matters,
Day to day events, simple anecdotes etc

Social issues, spiritual concerns, nature’s wonders,
Tell tales, fun stories, nostalgic events and human feelings
I ventured to touch on, for this chapter, and in that,
Hats off to PH, for the un-stinted support rendered

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
English being my second language, I never thought I would be able compose a poem in that tongue, until one day few years back, I was made by a friend to write something about a picture of world fame of a starving child and a vulture, from internet. Since then I continued to write on varying subjects and received enough positive responses from readers. PoemHunter's support I received in his regard can never be forgotten. My 200th poem is dedicated to PH appreciating it's service to budding poets all over the world.

All continents and cultures, within few years Linked via codes of human feelings Formed associations of multi colors Shared emotions breaking all barriers. I completely agree with this observation. PH has made possible the implementation of Hindu mythological saying Vasideo Kutumbkam(whole universe is a family) . Hats off to PH as well as to your imagery. Regards.

I do agree with your views! I too never imagined that I would be able to script so many poems! Of course PH provided us the platform to come together and share our views and bring to light our penchant for poetry! As we read others' poems, we get more and more ideas..... the encouragement of our fellow poets is a great boost to us! Sure, we are indebted to PH. I also have written a poem expressing similar feelings..... 'My Indebtedness''! When you get time, kindly read it! I congratulate you on the occasion of your winning the double century! May more poems flow from your pen!
