My Conversation Withapoem. Poem by Bharati Nayak

My Conversation Withapoem.

Rating: 4.8


You are my self talk

My secrets, untold

My pains, hidden

My laughter, repressed

My dreams, unrealized

My fears, lurking

My stories, unfolding.


You are in lines and words

In stanzas or in unfinished paragraphs

Sometimes you are apparent

Sometimes hide in a veil.


You always

seem unreachable

You come near but

When I extend my hand

You disappear.

But you surprise

Me often

With your suddenness

When you come without effort

And oblige me

With your

Graceful presence.

Lovely conversation with a poem and very aptly described... And like you I also read, even repeat reading some poems from your book, , , just as you dig out some old poems from the old. It is good not to upload a new poem.... all the best

Not to speak is terrible, but this graceful presence, as result of your coversation with a poem, is tenfold better, Congratulations with your brand-new poem, dear poetess! A 10 and much much more for the poem.

Poetry is so wonderful. sometimes it comes near and disappear at once, sometimes stay near for long, sometimes hangs like dreams. You have described the approach of poetry and its manifestation...10

Sometimes you are apparent Sometimes hide in a veil. When I extend my hand.. You disappear.... //.... The mysticism of a poet's world nicely interpreted. The hand behind it is so unpredictable. Sometimes it comes without effort with its graceful presence to write down a composition. Thanks.

I so relate to the close of this poem, Bharati. Yes, we are graced with poems when mere effort on our part can produce not a line worth saving. -Glen

I'm sure it depends on the poet, but this seems to say YOUR poems are quite varied in content, & in the amount of ease or difficulty you have in composing them. Your title (the 'Withapoem') i think shows that PH has once more been up to its tricks! To MyPoemList. bri :)
