12 Years, 571 Poems
How swiftly another year has gone by!
I wrote my first poem on 01.07.2009, and as the sunsets on the 12th year, my anthology boasts of 571 poems.
You could say, it's been a fruitful 12 years.
To the One Whom I Hold In Awe, my humble gratitude 🙏🏾
To each and every one of you who have been kind towards my efforts, much love ❤️
To Tinta (K Jacinta Rao) & Reena Shukla, my patient sounding-boards, many virtual hugs 🤗

Projecting, Interpreting
You did not see me,
While
you were reading my words
You saw the
caricature,
That you
have built up of me
Cloaked in the
projections of your own mind-set.
Onto whatever I
said/wrote
You put
tone to my words
Nuanced
my phrases
Restructured
my punctuation
Assigned
intentions
..... According to your perceptions
In short, you
projected your interpretations onto my words
And so you
missed out,
On the
beauty of my mind
Its unique
approach to issues,
The careful and
precise usage
Of
language to communicate a thought.
... And
as a result, communication failed and we both lost.

This Whittled Bamboo Stalk
This Whittled Bamboo Stalk
On a different note ... To Love Eternal!
Though this poem focuses on the flute, it could be replaced by any other musical instrument. Music uplifts me and I thank all musicians for bringing the sweet tones of music to life.

Cut Your Coat ...
I tell you a story, but it's up to you, to read it as fiction or read it as true ... I tell it in rhyme ... I tell it in verse, but thoughts on this matter, I'm sure are diverse. :-D
