Watching the children walking along the road to and fro their schools
My heart leaps high wishing to join their merry-making, cheerful funs
Realising I am not made of flesh and blood my poor heart retreats in dismay
Here on the veranda of this textile shop I have been in deep penance for long

A majestic poem. I love this wonderful portray of the character of a tailor...a beauty! !
Thank you once again dear friend. A tailor has an important role in the society which only a few realise
There lies on the veranda of the textile shop the old sewing machine, Rusty, dusty and untidy awaitinga successor to the bereaved old tailor....I love this composition so much. My pleasure reading this poem that emanates from the keen observation of the poet multiple times! !
I love this poem that briefly describes life of a tailor

It's a poem that provides a glimpse of your poetic skills. Great! !
Thank you very much Dr. Dillip. My heart really leaps on such comments
Thank you very much Suresh Kumar, why cant the tailorbe the creator and the machine the potential?
A wonderful and touching tribute to the tailor who had stitched dresses for you and the other school children.Time had taken him away, but his memory is still with you.
Thank you very much dear Bharati Nayak for picking up and commenting the poem.I remember our school days when we received with thanks our stitched school dress from the tailor.
This is a fabulous poem sir! I trace your fascinating poetic skills reflected in this endearing work! My pleasure reading it time and again!

A tailor who is an expert in his work is a much sought after person! A well stitched garment when worn adds elegance and confidence to the person who wears it! Even if the cloth is expensive, if it is not properly stitched won't look nice at all. So a good tailor will be liked by his customers. Such a man's absence will be deeply felt. The sewing machine which lies vacant is a painful reminder of the deceased tailor! A fine tribute!
Good. Everyone appreciate the dress we wore, but no one ever think who made this
Thank you Sreekumar for commenting in favour of the tailor
So skilled a tailor was he that he was liked by all his customers Sleepless nights and restless days made his creations famous around Freshness smelling dresses he made might have enchanted childre Bridal robes he designed might have added undefined beauty to bride...I profusely admire the beauty of the expression! The life of a tailor is immaculately depicted in this beautiful poem....10
Thank you Dr. Dilip, The tailor is one of the life characters who are not remembered after their service is utilised.
Though the tailor is no more yet his skill and fame are floating with the old sewing machine in the present society. Here i want to cite only two lines that you have inscribed so touchingly bearing a nice theme...... So skilled a tailor was he that he was liked by all his customers Sleepless nights and restless days made his creations famous around... Many thanks dear Nair for posting this valuable poem. It is going to my poem list.10
Thank you Kumaramaniji. Such skills are not at all remembered. If this poem reminds it I am happy
Personification of the sewing machine with the idea of a soul in it is commendable.Will be remembered for the simplicity of thoughts and emotions in it.
A very evocative poem, which takes ones straight into the tailor's world.
Thank you Robyn. You have studied my poems in depth to dig out their souls. Thank you
The contrasting perspectives through the sewing machine, and the tailor show a story through two different viewpoints; Therefore allowing one event (the children walking to school) to tell two different stories. Very thought provoking!
This is my favorite poem dear poet. Your keen observation of the life of an honest tailor is brilliantly depicted in this endearing poem. It gives me enormous pleasure to read this magnificent poem multiple times!
My gratitude for your valuable comments on this poem knows no bounds. The picture of the tailor is the one that had its imprint in my heart from my childhood onwards
