My wife came back last night after two months in Jeddah and my best friend came back after a fortnight. I don't know where was my friend? A wayside weed ignite great passion in the heart and inspired me to write a few poems like It's Not a Love Story, A Flying Kiss, A Mini Skirt, Who Am I, The Nameless Sentiments, Shadows of Lucy And Wordsworth, and, Shivering Moon. I hope you will read the poems one by one and understand the entire story. If you find any difficulty in understanding it I shall send you a message. Now coming to your poem, it's outstanding Valsa......................10

The poem tell us about a number of small actions, things, utterances etc. which have a bigger impact than the so called bigger things. You have rightly said: The small things of life thus, Prove much bigger than big things

A very truthful fact is said here in this poem siting so various examples. Yes, we find more honesty, pleasure and nearness in the simple, natural and homely things than that one being decorated or sophisticated.We love to swim in a lake or sea than in a decorated swimming pool.Thanks for sharing

As enunciated in the poem small things like a way side flower and a child's prank, the melody of a lonesome bird, a drop of tear, homemade fare are all things that enhance the beauty and are more powerful. Truly said, Valsa! Enjoyed your lovely poem as well as the picture that follows.

Truely envisioned. Really small thing has much more power than the big one. We should not treat small as triflng one. Nicely presented with best phraseology in a metaphoric way. The favourite lines are....Even a child’s prank can be more hilarious Than all the cranky jokes of an acclaimed comedian.............A tear drop may contain greater salinity Than all the waters of a great ocean. Many many thanks dear madam, may God increase your poetic imagination. .... 10

truly agree Mam...small things actually matter a lot than reciprocating with something of a large kind that is more of a show casing kind of thing - there are various means of expressing love and emotions by way of small things and is very well cited in your poem. Loved the picture too!

A very inspiring song in praise of everything small. Great. Your maturity of thought amazes me. (10) Yet, I am afraid the following two lines don't go actually well with your lofty thought process, i.e. the rest of the comparisons enumerated. Am I mistaken or am I missing something? Just as the joy of life is not always ruined by fatal errors But by the recurrence of injurious little things

Yes. when we see meaning in the little things of life, in everyday life, then we see that these little things are the threads that hold the spool. The childs pranks are so original than the dramatic act on a stage. Sometimes silence can speak better than words. and at times a layman's words holds more depth than a thoughtful verse from books. Little drops of water..... Little grains of sand.......

great philosophy of life, every possible thing done in different way is not trifle, everything in the world possesses it's greatness itself, and one who can perceive value in them, is also great. thank you
