My Dear Naughty Doll Of Clay (A Comment On Dr. Antony Theodore's Poem A Nightingale Feather)

Rating: 5.0


I just said in a crowd, "I love you."
in return millions said. "I love you, too."
I had thought I would end my journey as a creditor,
but my bank statement tells I am ending as a debtor.
Dear God! If you are love,
if you are a peace loving dove,
please help me and write off my debt,
otherwise I shall be constrained for a theft,
I shall steal hearts of the crowd,
I have no alternate to clear my debt.
God smiled and said, "I have deposited a handsome amount
with your account,
with profits every day
increasing the principal amount.
My dear naughty doll of clay! "

God is our love. We love eternal love. So we declare this even in crowds and in return we hear about love. Hearing our declaration of love God smiles and sends his love and grace for us. AN EXCELLENT commentary poem is beautifully penned..10

I feel as though through rare circumstances alone, that I owe a debt to all. I may very well walk into a crowd at some time and announce loudly that I love you to all.

A beautiful poem though smiling in debt, where love proved beyond all debts. Its no wonder to obtain a handsome deposit to clear off the debt. Loved reading it.

I really loved the debtor/creditor analogy. A wonderfully crafted piece of work Jawad sahab. Thanks for sharing: -)

(cont.) .... So you, Akhtar, are My dear naughty doll of clay? ? and the photo is just to catch our attention? It does. to MyPoemList. bri :) i'm not perfectly understanding the debtor/creditor angle. will stealing hearts*** make you (financially) solvent? *** steal (one's) heart To captivate someone; to instill in someone a deep affection or love.
