The Invisible Giant Comments

You wrote this poem in June 2009, but the situation happened 15 days ago in Ketharnath. Lot of people suffered without any help surrounded by water.

Thanks Vijay. Your poem works without the explanation though I doubt I would have known the giant you were facing was water. It doesn't really matter. The giant is like a nightmare descending on you, unstoppable. The last line is an attempt to rescue you from it by suggesting survival, but I would argue for a bleak summing-up. Something like, Leaving me to face my nightmare alone. Good ideas in this poem.

It's a good write...But running away may not always be the best way to come out of a crisis...

Indeed the world is a busy place but very lonely!

the world around me disappeared without a trace, leaving me alone to survive. The poem shows that at times we need to singlehandedly come out of crisis situations. Marvelous thoughts! Though the poem is a little bit like a paragraph, I enjoy a lot owing to powerful verses.Congrats.

Thanks for inviting me to read is poem of suspense. Good you have survived and written this poem for us.Very nice.Best wishes. Chandra Thiagarajan

A nice poem...good suspense and leaves the reader to decide the ending...Thanks for sharing.

Th situation you have explained is simply superb. I would imagine, when I travel through dense forests during Holiday Trips, the same what you have explained. I would think often, what would happen if I am left in lurch in this jungle. Your poem brings out my inner talk.

It is an interesting hyperbolic poem of fiction. The poem is trying to relate the human forces, which are reported to fictive strengths that exceed the human power and suggests that the only defensive reaction is run.well written..10++
