Wow, I entered in google ” How to look Happy” because my 14 yearold son said I always look sad. It lead me to great information and now to your new information. I am so glad I found you…I will be back…How great to be ble to help someone in my position. Thanks. Christy

Here is my blog you will see I have been trying to be happy but before that is what is really happening. Thanks.

First of all I would like to thank you for understanding it in your point of view. Do you know what the success of every poet/writer is? To make people understand what they write in their respective points of view! Else, the work of the artist would be mundane. That way I am glad you could make out something I totally missed.

No, I didn’t write it in suppressed anger, Shrinath. Honestly. In fact I was in a happy mood when the thoughts struck me. Subconsciously maybe I might have had those thoughts(even that is a mere possibility) but I proclaim with assurance that the intended result was anything but violence.

But you know what? You have confused me a great deal. Now when I read it say, after a zillionth time, the poem looks like it REALLY has a dark tinge. I reckon it depends upon the way each person looks at it!

Thanks again for stopping by to comment. Cheers!

Well, here goes Ranjani. First off, this is an engrossing poem, which can be interpreted at many levels.

Annihilation, ashes, evil, fiery.

When I read through the poem, not just in 3s, I find a path carved through emotions. So when I pictures the poetess who wrote it not in isolation, but in it entirety, the words are rather violent. A sort of a suppressed anger, if you would. If I take the last line and bunch them together, there is an interesting sub-story in it.

A miasma. But where are you headed? Directionless?

This was indeed one of your best words. Straight from your heart. Loved the emotions and I could imagine the night flowing as I read this passage. My favorite is:

Superfluous silence

Unprecedented flow of emotions

The birth of language.

Excellent!!

Thoughts of wisdom,
Interlaced with soulful words,
Lost in translation.

This was brilliant on so many levels! The 3 liners (Haiku), the arrangement of the subsequent Haikus side-by-side, just like the creeper in the picture. Eventual climax! One of your best works!
