I Laid My Heart Bare, But Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Thank you dear KM. I take now a deep breath for being on the same page as I on giving Poet's Notes..

Thank you for the feedback, Rose. But how about a falling star? (Report) ... I am not sure what you mean. And the falling star or the shooting ones as we call, are no stars. They're only small asteroids which get pulled by Earth's gravitation and are destroyed before reaching the surface. But yes, a poet can call them a star, he/she has all sorts of licence. I'm sure you've some new angle to it that I can't see.

Goofed up, .. not preventing, but rather directing/inducing the reader to think in one direction...

Thanks, your feedback is very elating. I always wonder if I should add port's notes, but then add them still. The poet's interpretation is one, the reader can still have a different one. Often by giving such notes the poet might be unwittingly preventing the reader to think only in one direction. Is it fair? You are a discerning poet, I'd love to have your feedback.
