I Sat Down To Write A Line... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

I Sat Down To Write A Line...



I sat down to write a comment line
Over two cups of good red wine
Listening to the midnight rain-
In one poem 'Rain' I mean

Missing out there the inside 'n'
By the wine high me in
Came out blinking off my pen
A 'lie' that didn't rain!

PS: (added since)
The letter ‘n' on my keyboard is playing havoc. Typing often fails. I wanted to add a comment ''a good line'' over a poem read. What came out was ''a good lie''. My poet friend got wild and fired me off his list!
This funny experience tempted me to come out with this write. Thanks

A nice idea for a light poem. May I offer one suggestion? Rather than using some prose to explain the genesis of the poem afterwards, expand the poem itself by incorporating the explanation (in verse) at the beginning of it.

Friends are shapes Flow around the space Friends are angles Sharing common symmetrical patterns Sometimes like Numbers Even or odd – you’ll remember In simple or complex life’s equation TRUE Friends share honest opinion Hence.......Even without N It won't change the condition Thanks!
