Known Unknown Poem by Kranthi Pothineni

Known Unknown

Rating: 5.0


I don't knew whom my eyes saw first time
Either I knew whats the first word I had spoken
Or even my first step that I took to stand
Neither the first thing that made me smile
Nor I knew the taste of my eyes fresh water

I don't even knew my first face of anger
Either the first thing that made me to fear
Or even when I ran for first time in life
Neither my first word that I wrote on sheet
Nor I knew the pain of my first wound

I don't knew when I had dreamed first time
Either I knew whats the first fruit I had
Or even my first game that I had played
Neither the first word that I had heard
Nor I knew the first rain I had seen in life

I don't knew when I started to feel all these
Either I knew the reasons of their birth in me
Or even when will their breath ends in me
Neither their rhyme and rhythm in next tick
All that I knew is, what they had made me...

This is a very interesting poem. The paradox in your title aroused my curiosity. And poem didn't disappoint either. It is a poem that offers great wisdom to the reader. I see, you haven't used your regular rhyming patterns here.In that sense, I feel you have answered your critics and shown the versatility in your writing. Having said that rhyming ones are not bad at all. Not many people can bring out the same kinda emotions and wisdom when they restrict themselves to a certain format. And you are good at that kinda poetry too.. Yet, this is a good work too. A poem that offers lot to the reader..10++ regards Shan

Most of the things we know, we do and we feel remain unknown but they remain in our subconscious.
