He has great appraisal for poets
Neruda, Pushkin, Eliots’
Kalidasa, Tagore, Keki…
List is on and on
Reads on and on
Keeps a heap at store
Displays and describes with silky talk
I wrote a few small poems
Gave him for a read
Reader read and silently left
I waited for days together
Then someone said –
‘Silence speaks louder than words, sometimes
But not everybody listens’
Lightning struck
I gave ear to that silence
Tagore has written –
‘Man has in him the silence of the sea’
Learnt to respect the silence
Today I am happy
Writing and reading my work.

all who write would relate well with this poem...whether that silence was an yes or no we donot know...i feel the first to be impressed is yourself...that will keep us going...a very frank write
Vidi, this is indeed a very honest from the heart piece and most writers and poets will relate to it....yes you are right we need to be appreciative of our own work as that alone takes us forward...10++++
well ma'am when needed silence matters too...cause people can lose so many things if they go on chatting about..i quote you a interesting few lines from a popula movie though..it's great movie called 'The Painted Veil' 'Kitty Fane: It's raining cats and dogs. Kitty Fane: I said it's raining cats and dogs. Walter Fane: Yes, I heard you. Kitty Fane: You might have answered. Walter Fane: I suppose I'm not used to speaking unless I've something to say. Kitty Fane: If people only spoke when they had something to say, the human race would soon lose the power of speech' I feel bit alive though if i have some one to talk though...and i v lost so many things too cause of intense debating..... yet i agree all talk wont matter, if you cant put them into action..nice one that make us think regards shan
