The Tale Of A Kite And A Sparrow Comments

Whatever has to happen will happen no matter what you do. But try you must. Beautiful poem. Thank you.

So sad, life can be so cruel and the Kite who tried his best to save his friend the Sparrow, only ended up bringing him into a place of extreme danger. The poor Kite had the terrible reality of seeing his friend been eaten and hear the horrible laugh of that dark short man. As in life reality does bite us hard when we least expect it! ! Beautiful write!

Thank you all for your comments whether you have treated the poem as a tale or as a write on 'mysterious fate' of human interpretations. I am fond of the Kite who represents any good human being who can instill a hope at times of helplessness. The disastrous impact of the help rendered by the Kite has nothing to do with the way the world may judge it.

A tale so nicely transformed into a brave and timeless poem of kite and sparrow so divinely keen to each other is really great.........I loved it.........Dineshji

Quite a story Dinesh, very philosophical with a message therein. We are all victims of fate, we cannot change that of which we are unaware.

Beautiful poem, Such honest friends are less in todays life. Sparrow is lucky to have such a honest friend. The Yama character is quiet interesting, the way you have portrayed....We cannot tell a superstition one. Many years back I had seen black and white movie in Marathi, in which an old woman closes all the doors and windows once the night begins. she feels that Yama (a huge black man with harsh voice) will come only at darkness of night, in form of death. To be frank we have read character of Yama like this.. Like you said, death is predestined. Beautiful story you have made into a lovely poem. Loved reading it.. Thank you Sir for the valuable comment for my poem, with no bang. I will try to write short poems...Smiles. Thanks a lot.

Dinesh, this is quite unlike your usual writes......! To a certain extent we are to believe that our lives are predestined and there is a force called Fate. However strong may be one's line of defence, when the time comes, the inevitable happens and we have to surrender finally. I feel the little sparrow in your story however is lucky to have got an abiding friend and protector in the kite! Enjoyed this interesting tale!

A marvelous mandate of our mortality, Well done my friend. Thanks for sharing.
