like a color slide

Write, for instance: "The night is full of stars,
and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance."

Counting the days to eternal abyss

I'd avoid all things prosaic and I'd do the best I can
To optimize the content and the grammar and the rhyme
And of course I'd tell a story that would echo for all time

Making me worried, I need a pinch

Sometimes the poem

A cobweb swaying in breeze
What made the breeze become the wind
A foul play..it blew butting blind

But glass so simple-subtle its shape
Is nothing but the shape of what it holds.

Bharati Nayak evokes a whole world of natural consciousness, nature's appraisals and emotional bonds in her poems, nurturing each with unique personal care. The love for words, their strangely satiating pleasures and pains are transitions between her thoughts and her beautiful expressions. I found different layers and dimensions in each poem. Her very first poem 'I' tells about her conviction to remain etched in time's history with her poignant verses for generations to come, long after she is gone. If one has read the story or seen Satyajit Ray's 'Pather Panchali' can relate well to her poem 'A letter to Appu with love from Durga' where she beautifully narrates the bond between siblings, and Durga's soulful reminiscing. 'Oh Life'is a conversation of the poet with life, her observation and sensitivity impressed me very much. She begets her verses from fire and from ashes, unmoved by detractors or believers, confident of her perception and evocation.
Poems of immense depth, soft melody, spontaneous flow and personal style makes Bharati's collection 'Words Are Such Perfect Traitors' a must read for all those who love poetry.

The poem, even a short time after being written,
seems no miracle; unwritten, it seems
something beyond the capacity of the gods.

Reduced me to tears
Yet gave me wings of an eagle.

Why do I keep loving you, again & again, life after life?
I am trapped in a cycle of birth & death, as a prisoner of just this love
You have made my world a paradise & life a boon of rebirth
Your every touch vibrates the strings of my heart, playing the endless tune of love;

No one claims to be great in front of him,
No one can write like him frequently,
He writes this creation as a lovely poem,
God's poem is greatest wonder we feel,

Though I have only experimented with it briefly, I am a believer in ‘Lucid Dreaming’
Do you ever create poetry in your dreams? Or do you perhaps compose music?
Do you solve complex problems? Or have you ever thought up a joke?
I have done all of the above and of course many more entertaining things.

I am Poem Hunter Dot Come
I welcome you,
My dear poets, poetesses you are,
You write in queue.

It kept going round and around in my head
