Gets soaked through
We'll let the sorrow of burdonsome wetness

So many lines I can quote to represent our time, our living, our civilization.So many are there...... a single line deserves 50 pages article at least.....'Wind even now expects to blow the leaves away'.....it could be a caption of the whole.....'People drink blood of their own climes / And grow like germs'......such a horrible experience we always facing in our third world life every moment.....'Smoke has turned the flowers black / Butterflies' wings look ashen'......what more we breath from this earth now......pollution in air, in social life, ethical and spiritual also looks ashen.......so...so.... Salute you poet...I salute your talent and the sensitive human heart you bear at least to cry for the lonely criers. Poet, Be your feet heavy on earth and last long.....long.... Regards my warm regards, 10+++++ pranab

All bright eyed and bushed tailed...off little red ridinghood went...and then she read your poem...now she cries two sets of tears...your kind and the kind of the wolf...and yet those wolf cries still play out into day's world.

Message from Mary Spain: From: Mary Spain (United Kingdom ;) To: Naseer Ahmed Nasir Date Time: 8/3/2009 4: 30: 00 AM (GMT -6: 00) Subject: Hello Naseer - I have just read 'Weep Holes'. A very fine and thought-provoking poem, which needs to be read and re-read to be fully appreciated. At least the mud didn't clog your mind, there's a clear, crystal stream of perception flowing through the poem. Mary

A superb composition. I liked at least two aspects of this poem - first, even if the tears ain't ripe, don't consider us the wall itself / don't think we're but worthless. Secondly, the recognition that only after deep and prolonged soaking, the tears flow..and let the heavens' sorrow descend the earth! .....wow... I must acknowledge a superior translation as well.
