Liked this poetic story of a pencil..............................
I really enjoyed this lovely poem. Made me think about my school days. A pencil maybe a simple object but it can accomplish great things. I will never look at a pencil the same way again!
Beautiful message delivered through the poem. Also a pencil can write in all positions which a pen cannot do. What a wonderful character pencil is!
Simple yet great theme. And great messages too. Wonderful, Valsa-ji. This deserves more than the 10 I can give.
Beginning with attractive words like 'The lean and lanky man' you have presented the verse through the pencil admiting it a teacher. As a versed poet you have sermonized the divine message to vibrant kids by the means of a pencil. Thrilling expression. It is a didactive verse and I like its all sentences. Many thanks for posting such verse. ...10
Interesting read.The wonderful way Mr. Pencil teaches to children is a fine example to adopt by teachers and parents alike.
Every word Mr. P uttered was as close as child's daily meal and how pertinent example she chose to teach few invaluable life lessons to most needed. Great thinking. Congratulations Valsa.
I cannot imagine you could find such a simple lovely thought. How a pencil can speak volumes in ever so meaningful words. This is something i need to share with my kids. Actually when i read it, the words weighed a ton. I'm trying to find words to express my feelings for this poem; but cannot find any. but Valsa im touched.
I have come to this poem for second time. I love this poem very much. I appreciate the way of presentation. The life story of pencil is well executed. I feel the most impressive lines as " Taking a deep breath he concluded / " Each time you use me, I leave a mark / So learn to leave your own mark / In whatever you do” This poem is going to my poems list. Gorgeous one. Sure ten.
