The wry diction plunges us back into the quivering mass of a collegiate youth's heart. It is a telling move to describe him as a pillar, for he himself felt the sting of being so pillar-like. In moments of sympathy for what he was, he replays the soundtrack of youthful reveries. Who is to say that those hours of inchoate longing were not laying groundwork for something? A poet endures great hollowness of soul and so becomes receptive to many things.

We all know time and time waits for none and yet due to hesitation breed from a combination of factors, we often fail to take the plunge. An excellent poem.

I know much of it is fancy, especially the note part! However you have beautifully and humorously presented that shipboard romance! A sure 10

this is such a cute poem. and i see the honesty in this poem. I feel it is always better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. (before marriage of course!) i find this exciting too. Imagine that you suddenly meet her across the street.. what will you do now? will you find her old and haggard? will you still be stupid? will you be stupid to be brave to go and talk to her? ? ? well Romantic too....... Did you study at all? ? ? ?

Madathil Rajendran Nair is lucky to have a reader who comes up with all the right questions. I wish I had thought of all those questions after reading.
