Pre-Monsoon Children In My Village Comments

delighted seasonal village scenery is depicted in this poem// beautiful poem

Beautiful and pleasing write-up embellished in poetic rhyme and rhythm. Thanks for sharing SK.

it is wonderful to know when so many take their invaluable time to encourage a non English poet in English poetography and help a villager in the finer nuances of composing poetry in a language other than ones own all have indirectly inormed you how wonderful it would be if you composed poetry as did Tagore in Bengali and earned the Poet Laurette as India's first non English poet I see the elements of yellow dates and white mulberry catch up in the eyes lovely fruit tree and a lovely poet one day you shall be so many have taken pains to read thee my fiend your poetry evokes a senses of innocence keep at it there are very minuscule poets like thee

The poem perfectly captures the life in a village in this phase of the season. Enjoyed reading it. Thanks a lot.

A delight to read. Great imagery.

Wonderful images connect this poem.

Wonderful so interesting.

maybe a poem about Monsoon Children would be interesting. :) The rain, in big buckets, comes, and the fearsome winds do blow. Children are awash. It's monsoon season. At least it is not snow. :) bri

my second comment in two years: a favorite line: Behold for their own mellow fruits none waits for the birds' invitation..................one year i waited for plums to ripen and a flock of pigeons harvested all-but-one plum for me! ! ! but: ...little lambs run to the dropping destination................real lambs or is this symbolic for children or? is the dropping destination where the fruits drop on the ground, i wonder. hmm? is Adam a Bengali name? or a Bengali Christian's name? being one who does not know a lot of Indian History, i would not understand this line without the helpful Poet's Notes; thanks for the notes! Suddenly their walking behind a juggler portrays Gandhi's men to Dandy. .............yes, a nice line, indeed. congratulations on member poem of the day selection. bri :)

Wonderful description of a natural place becoming both a habitat and a habitat and a community using a religion context- excellent message. Voted 10.

Lovely description of rainy season. After summer heat it is a time for some fun and cooling best loved by children. they hold the treasure of life and nature with their innocence. Congratulations for member poem place. it's a pleasure to read.

Lovely poem which take to the memories of my childhood. Congrats

A great imagery of pre-monsoon rain we see in your beautifully crafted poem. Green jamuns and yellow dates for ripening. The dancing, prancing and divine little lambs run here beautifully. Innocent children are very sweet and they enjoy such rainy season beautifully outside. God is eternal protector to all creatures and human beings. An excellent poem! Congratulations! .....10

a wonderful descriptive poem of a time and place that will always be remembered in the words of this poem? ...........well written

As God is your protector.... congrats on being chosen.... a big 10+++++

I have never been to your homeland and most probably never will- -but these lines that you have written here give me glimpses of your life there and I thank you for that widening of my horizon. The mixture of children imagery and bird imagery and fruit imagery was a delight! ! If I had lived there, I too would have been waxing nostalgic about such scenes. Thank you for the brief but beautiful journey into your country and your memories.

Lovely poem. It is so because of its meticulous portrayal of life in the native village of the poet and the general landscape out there around monsoon time. Thanks for sharing the poem. who catch the grasshoppers leaving cell phones? O the celestial sweet children you are our hope and future We'll do you no harm and torture as God is your protector.

ohhhh!!!!! sir You Are Such as a Brilliant Poet! I really Liked you!!!!

I can visualise the scenario of the children playing welcoming the monsoon. Great write up reflecting the innocence of the nature. Keep writing and keep sharing. God bless.10

thanks for the Poet's Notes; they helped me. i THINK there are some misspellings. let me know if you care to hear what i think they are. a couple places left me wondering what you meant, but overall i think i got it. it makes me think a bit of my childhood. i spent a lot of time in fields, woods and near streams and ponds. bri :)
