Man Of Few Words Poem by Practicing Poetess

Man Of Few Words

Rating: 5.0


He says Hi.
I don't know what to reply.
I confess
That I can't guess
What else may lie
Behind that 'Hi'.

There are no lines to read between
When one word- - 'Hi'- - is all that's seen.

At times less is better. Very nice piece of writing.

Thanks, Ray. As they say now, 'Less is More.' Some men just need to be drawn out a bit, and then they're right at home when it comes to opening up! As long as they feel safe.

We think very often what shall we reply on when a person says us hi. There are no lies behind this word. We can feel self dignity of the greetings through hi. An excellent poem is beautifully penned and this is very thoughtful...10

Thank you, Kumar! You are right- - I suppose that 'Hi' is just an opening, to give me the opportunity to respond further. Or, perhaps he didn't know what else to say!
