2) That memory was painful enough, but after reading your poem, I found out that her mother had died just last year of a broken heart. Despite my great sadness, I commend you on this outstanding piece of writing.

Poet Menon, this heart-wrenching poem was extremely difficult for me to read. Many years ago, I was involved in organizing benefit concerts for Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. It was all in memory of Kayla Klaudusz. She was a three old who had been raped and murdered by one of her neighbours.

So visually perfect, it rips the soul as we encounter man's inhumanity and the savage cruelty of men that are worse than animals. An unforgettable and painful tragedy put into words that can forever be remembered

Reverred Poet Olga Tinina writes " how scary the world is, where there is pain and suffering, how vulnerable a little man is; it's easy to mock him! your poems make me think; your poems are very different for me and it's amazing! " Thank you Olga. Obliged

Going through this poem I came to know the story of a young girl named Satyawati of twelve years old who became the great grand mother of Pandavas and Kauravas. It is a great story from great epic Mahabharat. Satyawati was the daughter of a fisherman and once she was in charge of ferry man till coming back of her father's after fishing. In this time how Satyawati was violeted and raped by a sage named Parasaran has been heartfeltly inscribed. Dear Unnikrishnan, your penmanship is so captivating and words weaving is much attractive. I quote He guided to boat to an isle In the middle of Yamuna Uninhabited, But rich in flora and fauna. He tore my clothes into shreds Forced upon me and tore me apart Repeatedly, not allowing me to have Even a drop of water. Thank you a lot.

An impressive and touching start of the great epic Mahabharat, thanks for sharing.

You have described that poor child's reaction to the horror done to her very well... which is to say, my soul cringed deep inside me and my heart broke for that innocent child and my wrath grew with each word till I want that beast captured and destroyed and I'm usually such a mild and meek person. A stunning write and I have been waiting so long for your gorgeous rich tapestries in these remarkable poetic epics. 10 thousand 10s. And a fav listing. .

It's giving me goosebumps. Not an easy read. The story from the victims point of view is quite painful to read. Well written saga of pain and humiliation at the hands of the sage. Looking forward to read more from these series.

I have read the story of Satyavati. But through this poem, you have given a new interpretation to the poem. I shall now read the second and third poems in the series.

Another series I plan to read in its entirety. I enjoyed the this and I look forward to the one that follows. Thanks for sharing.
