Dear madam, you have astutely and incisively depicted this poem titled 'Dance 7 - Mohiniattam - The Graceful Dance Of Kerala ' The style of this dance is so amusing and attractive. It is dance of the enchantress! Tender movements unfurling into ripples of joy. The last stanza says vividly about the motion of the dancer's body. It is glad that you and your daughter have danced for fifteen years. May God bless you both with all family members. This is really a beautiful poem.10
such beauty lies in a couple of mother and daughter since 15 years I was once a prolific composer but now none my pages verse nor rehearse
Beautiful poem depicting the beauty of Mohiniattam and the rhythmic flow of steps. Loved reading it. I am glad to know about the great artist like you as well as your daughter.
Thank you Geetha for reading about Mohiniattam - the graceful dance of kerala and your good wishes,
Indian dances are probably the most impressive in the world! I saw a video of the Mohiniattam dance. Your poem depicts it superbly!
Thank you Kostas for reading my dance poem. I am happy that you watched a video on Mohiniattam too.
Those who have not seen an artiste perform on stage can feel the impeccable beauty, elegance of movement and an emotional transcendence through a variety of thematic presentation. Great poetic treat. Thanks, Geeta ji. The arms like wings of an exotic bird. Tender movements unfurling into ripples of joy.
Rajnish ji, you know very well how much 'sadhana' goes into the life of an artiste. It is after years of performances after performances, that i am able to put it into words now, the spirit of dance. Your words of appreciation means a lot to me, Rajnish ji. Thank you so very much.
There is no reason to disagree with what you have stated. This is a life long 'sadhana'.
How very, very precious and well written this poem is! The description, the form, the images a delight of poetic perfection and the similes of the last stanza a gift for true poetry lovers 'The horizontal motion of the body is Like the palm's willing submission. Mother and Daughter team, beautiful but can't tell whose the mother and whose the daughter Congratulation. All around excellence. Thank you for this dancing, marvel
