Poem Hunter 7 - Ode To Classic Poets Of Poem Hunter - Rudyard Kipling Comments

Hi Geeta, A wonderful tribute to Kipling and to his lovely but poignant poetry. I may say, the poem “if” is representative of his philosophy, his ideologies that he had inherited and inculcated by his life in India. We may say he was a true Indian than most of us. Kipling was equally good or even better in his fiction. “Kim” is a masterpiece. Thank you Geeta for sharing this lovely poem, calling the great writer to our memory.

Ode To Classical Poets, a beautiful and novel concept of paying tribute to them. I have read most of the tributes and liked what I read.

Geeta ji, certain things are very close to our hearts and when they become the slice of our past and take us several years back to revive memories of elders in the family, they become immensely valuable. Kipling's 'IF' is one such slice of your childhood and youth which you shared with your loving father. An emotional journey down the lane and a beautiful Ode. Thanks again for sharing.

I am speechless.This poem weaves so many themes. Your skills as a poetess are paramount. Thank you so much dear Geeta.
