This showcase is mind-boggling! ! ! [i know it boggled MY mind at times while i was putting it together.] and besides THAT, it is FANTASTICAL! ! ! to MyPoemList it goes. Thanks so much BRI EDWARDS for allowing me to view and comment! ! ! signed, Anonymous :)
Bharti's poem is beautiful. For yours I still have to get used to for this link tech. Thanks Bri!
Thanks, Savita. the link 'tech' is really not too difficult. afer all, even Bri can do it. but one MUST be VERY CAREFUL to be sure to copy or type the link, ..............................which i supply in THREE PARTS [because PH does not allow me to put a complete link into a poem].........................ACCURATELY! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! THANKS for the comment. :) bri :) p.s. her name is Bharati, not Bharti. :) :) and SHE also has had trouble with the 'link tech'! !
Beneath Bri's poem [#2] in the showcase list, it seems PH has changed Topics to To pic(s) . i might have done it myself if i'd thought of it! ! it IS kind of funny! bri :)
Akhtarji's poem is very emotional. I didn't experience it personally (wasn't even born) but partition was a very painful chapter of Indian history and it still is for that earlier generation.
