Robert Murray Smith Poem by Rajnish Manga
Robert Murray Smith
(One)
When we log into PH we look out for friends
Especially those who have carved new trends
Robert Murray Smith has been a trend-setter
Impressive was his writing unique every letter
No idea when he opened the door and left
We were taken aback as it was like a theft
He is conspicuous by his absence you know
Hard hitting- It has come to us as real blow
Mercury dipped, such was his disappearance
Depression followed and created a turbulence
His poems were insightful and psychological
Shaped by experience not the least mythical
(Two)
Rejoice as we must- we have gotten a reason
Our Friend came back to brighten the season
Flying poetic pigeons can never be a myth
Enacting the act is none other than Mr Smith
Rajnish ji, i do not know how i missed this poem, Anyway, i am glad i saw it now. This is a wonderful poem. Robert Murray is a poet loved by many in PH. I personally, respect this poet a lot for his beautiful poems specially on the subject of mind and thoughts. He is very honest and forthright in his comments.
Yes, by virtue of his age, versatility of his poetry and uniqueness of his style, this poet is one of the most sought after on this forum.
Thank you Rajnish, for writing an excellent ode to a fellow poet, who has been a great inspiration for many budding poets of this site, through his brilliant poems and outstanding comments. I am glad that the respected poet has come back. Best wishes to both of you and happy writing!
I sincerely appreciated many poems of Robert Murray Smith.But I don't understand why he makes sudden disappearance.If any other poet is posing as Robert Murray Smith, I feel sorry for him too.
Others on PH, such as Dr. Swain and others unnamed have also been suspected. Kim Barney believes there is a sure way to detect deception.
Unfortunately for PH and perhaps RMS as well, there has in past months been suspicion, among several PH members, that he may be one who sends unflammatory remarks to others.
Very interesting, and intriquing, in revisiting this poem. Rajnish, both Robert and you were among the first to welcome me to this site. And for that, I am indebted to you.
Daddy was never gone at all. He was merely using of of his multiple aliases.
