The Jinx Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

The Jinx

Rating: 4.0


Some people get what they deserve
Some people deserve what they get
The Jinx between these statements
I haven't spotted yet

Which one of these, positive?
Which one, negative?
The word- what- is the witch
That decides what is which!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A bit of word play there. Beyond that, it is a riddle. The word 'what' stands for both good and bad
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I think first line of this poem is negative, its tone clears that the bad luck you faced is due to your karma. The second line is positive, its tone says if so rapidly became popular, your poems deserved this honor.

Interesting feedback Akhtar. Good or bad Karma moves along, never ceases to recreate

A note often helps to start with. A warm soup. For taste and better digestion. Thanks Indira for your nice words. Welcome. And immense thanks for your good words on my PP also
