'So do not mistake their art for lies, ' ....and, YET aka also (or) although? , DON'T mistake their fantasies or 'jokes' or..? ..as TRUTH! ! ! At least not if I, bri, write them! ! bri ;)
I got interrupted by PH and may have lost a comment I was continuing to make on this poem. (cont.) The slang phrase, 'it's a gas' means: Something is a thoroughly entertaining, enjoyable, or amusing time.' I think that was it. : ) bri
(cont.) when 'my' bowels DON'T move (well enough) and my nanny (not granny) has to give me an enema! ! ! . 'It's a gas! ' (cont.)
Rajan, IF you are as old as you've recently implied, you may appreciate this: 'All with a rhythm that cannot move.' I Don't think I 'get' your meaning, but it reminds me of (cont.)
'Transporting readers from a simple push.' I would say 'with a simple push', but, FOR someone as ancient as you claim to be, you do well.
Yes we are not fake at all. Avery respectful poem to be honoured by all. Thank you
One of the very best tribute poems to poets that I've had the pleasure of reading. This kind of poetry soothes the soul from some of the bittersweet love that has occasionally permeated this wonderful site. Love it, Rajan!
We write to express ourselves and not to demean others, we do write some satire poems just to correct them and make them aware about their wrongdoings. Good Poem, I appreciate.
You said it nicely. I agree with Following comments by Asim & David.
2) By doing so, we should build friend, kinship and camaraderie. And learn to respect one another. Great piece of poetry. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment, I totally agree, we all write just for our satisfaction and to share our thoughts and views.
There is no "surpassing " or "outwitting " one another here. We all spend a lot of our creative time here, every minute of which we should enjoy.
This is the reason why read and write comments, we all have our weakness and strengths and we keep learning from others, some of the poems inspires us to write. I appreciate your poems.
Thank you David, I like your topics as you touch upon current affairs.
Great piece of writing, you elevated the standing of the poets. Indeed, not all are insincere nor do they compete to surpass others. I quote your own words ' So do not mistake their art for lies, For their poems are a window to the wise.' Awesome 5****
Thanks to you, Indeed your comment is gem since you got my point correctly and precisely.
I give 3 stars. *** I MIGHT have give MORE if he had sent me ice cream ahead of time. Too many here have PROMISED to send AND have FAILED to do so (or the mail carrier got hungry) .
