wow....knew abt the legend from childhood....but never thought of the analogy... thank you very much sir......very true indeed.
Very well narrated..and great imagery..a legend that had turned into a great poem bringing out a moral conception.. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem...
that was a nice poem brought back the comic picture to mind read before ages and the end moral brings out the fact that we are stuck=10
The king was not to let it hang Head down on the tree all day long; ............................................... Kesav, You have given us this surprising legend fine in the way//// 10\\ best wishes, Tsira
The relativity of evil spirit to human mind....great...thanks for reminding me of the past 'ambulimama's(chandamama) vikramadithan and vethal stories
nicely composed, the vikram vetal fable actually flashed across the screen of my mind
vikramatitya vetal fable is intersting when given is poetic presentation. a what-is the-next-line poem.
Hi Kesav, Witty legend - a verse, good work, ....10.... thanks for your fine the comment. best wishes, Tsira
The poem based on the old legend Vikram and vethal is really beautiful--I could enjoy the poem and the philosophy there in. Congrats Mr Easwaran.
Sir your poem is awesome to read and it recount the old wondeful characters - Vikram and vethal... and your prose done on them is admirable.... keep going sir.. ric..
One old legend turned into a beautiful poem, vikram and vethal re emerged through the lines like a visual. Well composed
I do not know this story, but I enjoyed reading this poem very much, thanks for sharing it with us,10 Lynda x
Till now I had always taken it as a timeless legend of Vikram Betaal…the puns and the intellectual answers were enjoyed, I even remembered the TV serial featuring Arun Govil as Vikram and Sajjan as Betaal, but had never thought of such a poignant metaphor behind the myth…we all carry the burden of unanswered queries and try to find the answers throughout our life, the threat of life always being there, ….so the evil fool wins in playing his tricks throughout our life. Your poem has opened a new insight to the legend and given a philosophic connotation attaching it to human life in simple but deep lines.
A good comparison of the story of Vikramatitya and Vedal with one's life that hangs on like the last two lines: Win or lose carry him remain We through out our life in vain!
its what we see in our very midst is what we fear....the return will make us reborn, review, rethink and puzzle what is next...your poem is an openner to the world... on what will be our next steps for the next generation... thank you God bless a 10
