A Bonsai Comments

Have to put this poetic gem to my Poem List.

Excellent write. Deeply poignant and moving with superb imagery. Touching lines that strike right at the heart. The separation between spouses will greatly affect the children. The battle for custody brings havoc to the family and greatly affect the development of the children, both mental and emotional. A very insightful write very well crafted.

On a sea strand, we watch the empty shells and try to feel them greatly. They are mercilessly tossed from sea to shore. Often we think and shrink on this issue. How tedious is the voyage! Every merciful clime is destined to grow. This poem is definitely very nicely and interestingly penned. This is an excellent poem shared here.10

I love how you use the language. You give life to the words.

My neighbour used to do it with Pipal and Banyan trees...like a beautiful toy they look beautiful which I can not deny...but the torture they are given is indescribable in words..same with the boy of this poem whose growth is cut then and then without happiness for a steady growth in life...awesome Valsa... a sure 10

My son is not having good relations with his wife, although their marriage was a love marriage. I and my wife always discouraged whenever they came at a point of separation. By now we have been succeeded to avoid a separation for the sake of my grand children. But this can only be done in a society where a joint family still exists.

I have heard of homonyms, but sometimes there are poems too which deliver multiple meaning, .......u might not know, but this poem puts together a vast multitude of thoughts, and emotions.......its a deep insightful write, with beautiful essence of personification and imagery.......its quite easy to figure out the scene where you wrote this poem.......at the shore of Arabian or at your bonsai garden

Very insightful with great imagination...........Valsa...........while citing trauma of teenagers like that of a bonsai wishing to grow but being dwarfed by systematically pruning................very nicely composed.........

Little Bonsai dreaming to be towering tree. But bonsai remain the same...Good comparison of teenager who life is struck in between the boundaries, neither here nor there. Beautiful poem. Loved it.

but bonsai trees are so lovely small in structure but unique in shape.

This poem is thought provoking. Though the subject is looking at Bonsai with apprehension yet the beauty of Bonsai has its own identity, once recognized no towering tree can match it.

A gr8 allegorical poem pennd in a remarkable way musin d child caught btw separatd parents.

There's a story with the title Bonsai Life. Its a stupid art, zn't it?

I am sure you are not like a bonsai Valsa, and that you are both singer and song - your poetry says it all. Excellent write, though sad and poignant.

It's all steeped in emotions, sentiments and empathy for either oneself or someone else as a protagonist. Agony of a split personality is depicted beautifully in images from Mother Nature that adds grace to the poem. I don't feel that it's self-pity in anyway. nicely penned ma'am.

An inspiring poem Valsa, Life can be a real struggle for teenagers at the best of times.

A nice mind painting and painting is not emotion then what painting / colour with emotion a nice one 10

Longing at once to be the singer and the song! I wish to be with this beautyful singer

It's heart rending to go through the poem comparing the feelings of the separated one to a bonsai and a midget ! Of ten it so happens, these days and the children become a wreck. AS A POEM I ENJOYED THE LOVELY WRITE, VALSA!

it purges when you put forth the emotions..10 marks as i feel the emotion on my heart....
