Scrutiny Poem by Nosheen Irfan

Scrutiny

Rating: 5.0


If I'm watching all your moves
It's not insecurity or possessiveness
It's just that I'm studying you
As my favourite subject.

Reminds me of a song by The Police. Nosheen, your poem puts that song in a totally proper and powerful context. That aside, absolute brilliance conveyed in such succinct form. Love it!

Being aware that I am under someone's 'scrutiny' brings some discomfort though, I do not mind being put under a poet's scrutiny. A poet's eyes see beauty, seek beauty. I would love to be watched by the eyes that seek beauty.

Yes, we must always keenly observe people and situations and should not instantly jump into the conclusion. This wonderful poem has multi layers of meaning. Top score.
