# # Poem Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

Well its true that's what the writer is for

How true. Every poem must have a reader, yours just found one. Thanks for the invitation, your friend Lynn

Every poem holds something

This is true from one perception but if there is no real stuff in a poem, how can the reader get to the heart of it? We may be showing only a lantern but how can the viewer take it for a sun? Where there is clarity of thoughts between the creator and the listener/viewer, there won't be any loss of view. We often would say that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and pass on the stick to the beholder. Such a statement gives enough room for the creator to do any kind of vulgarity and escape. One can find this attitude of man in all fields.

great thought samanyan...........true how a poem is not a poem without the reader..........please read my poem called A NEW MEANING.......its about what a poem should be....

truth ofcourse it is always readers make the poem vibrant and meaningful

Once a poem leaves the nest, it must fly under its own steam - and it will be interpreted differently depending upon the reader. That is the wonder of the process. As you express so eloquently, here, a poem can only become itself when it has a reader to share its dance. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

so true... a poet can paint pictures with words but a reader can tell the beauty of it and the meaning it conveys great ideas as always, Sam... 10++++ Lovelots, Maia

once we've shared a poem...it has already changed....the reader has already infused it with his own meaning....(and thanks for sharing this!)

Imm! This is so true Lakshi Sir. all that we write are dedications to readers.........they only make it fulfilled...
