You Nearly Killed Me Neelu! Comments

Oop! What has happened with you is not just one case. I feel thousand such cases are there. Keep writing dear poetess.

very interesting poem and the Title caught my eye. I was in for a shock because i had taken the title literally! Hats off to you. I love your original style. Your own way of sorting things out. That none can take from you. Theme original, Words Original, and you are Unique.

Wow, loved the concept mam...true mam, every one is an inspiration to everyone in some way or the other mam...no wonder! beautifully presented.The transparency adds to the beauty of your words mam. Enjoyed your placid verses mam. thanks for sharing...10

Liked the poem in the light of the Poet's Notes.

the best part is..whoever it was has bought that impulsive words that made u a better poet each time......if one has criticism for poems then believe me the poem iis worth the hurt and its this pain that triggers a new poet....

A good poem and it is a mind opening in its truth and style.

Creativity is positivity and it does create and not break........Geetha...........so why be discouraged with negative sense.........very well put..........Geetha we feel your absence.............

With verses you can't hurt or kill At the most spoil the thrill A Wannabe poet always feels up hill Having writ from his heart without frills........ (Good poem and it reads like a serrated knife - Keep writing)

I fully agree with you Shahzia. Whenever a poem is posted, it can be interpreted by anyone. I take criticism in a positive way, as I feel critics wants me to improve or they wants to correct me. If this poem was not in top list, may be the critics would have been less.Your way of explaining was fantastic and you covered each points perfectly. Appreciate your words and your valuable time..Thanks a lot Shahzia.

My explanation for my comment: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Poetry is a mirror to life reflecting all the expressions and emotions generalized and universalized. The art of poetry is judged on many levels, both inter textual and intra textual, critical and thematic, feelings and presentation of feelings. For the criticism this poem has faced, and the readers who passed positive comments I am one of them and against the charge, I feel myself accountable too and here I would like to re-post my comment: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (Geetha, what a poem...on this platform you are blessed to perform any feat from this web-ground...any reaction, reciprocation, retaliation...all through rhyme...really wonderful...! ! !) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Poetry is open to interpretation, so as the theme goes, it was like an apostrophe to a character, (real or imagined) Neelu, my comment goes for its dramatics through rhyme, and not for the spell-check, or grammar-check, because some areas are understood, and although being the teacher (learner) of English Language and Literature, I prefer the accuracy and perfect presentation, but still we all are liable to err, especially the typos...a common malady quite understood which should be strictly avoided on the part of the poet, but it does not carry more weight than the respect and already won and earned credit of the poet for his/her other masterpieces. To cite an example of Shakespeare's play The Winter's Tale which is considered a great dramatic romance despite the obvious geographical inaccuracy and absurdity of expression, and Hamlet-the Mona Lisa of Literature bears the stigma of lacking the objective-correlative, but even then it is a master creation. The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot is considered a great work despite the alleged faults in it. Blackwood and Quarterly mags inflicted much sharp criticism even on Keats-the master. So criticism in itself is the part of the game. Grammar and spellings are important but not everything that's why every scholar of English poetry is not a poet himself. The pulse of the poetry-sites beats upon the tenor or a relationship between the poet and his reader, with their honest mutual cooperation and encouragement, and the linguists, scholars, and grammarians accept the phenomenon of Language barrier in non-native users of language who are accepted on the scene for many other factors in poetry. I value the criticism as an agent of improvement and it has acquired a literary status for itself. Best regards for the poet, readers and the critics! ! !

Aswath, I myself got surprised, when I unexpectedly found this poem in hot list..I was much frustrated that particular day and wrote this poem in one sitting and posted it. Definitely this is never one of my best poem.Nor I expected it to be read by many..I dont know in what way is this poem went on top list..Nor there is something unique in it to go to top list..It isnt that worth reading too...This poem doesnt convey any good message to take to top. I am really surprised how come this reached here... Aswat, at least you dont make fun of me...

I was just going through the home page, which I rarely do and saw this one at the top of hot poems list. As and when I opened, comment of Lokesh Bahety made me smile and how simply he has put what I wanted to say, of course more bluntly. This poem of yours ma'am, is certainly not the best from your bag and I personally feel that you have better poetry within you and there is more yet to come. In this online platform, where more people are sycophants and ear-eaters, it takes immense courage and guts to say that 'the king is naked'. Easily by commenting something like 'wah..what a poetry' or An amazing writeor Loved reading it, I can ensure that you will read my write, but I will be doing injustice to you and will be deceiving my soul. You have every right to write what you want ma'am, because I believe poetry is about expressing oneself. But does this write deserve to be top in your list? I'd say no if I need to be honest. So let me join the bandwagon and be one among many others, who would like to see the increasing number of comments in their writes and top most integer. Wah! What a poetry! Amazing write it is. Loved reading it! ++++10

If it was a date which went wrong or am in love you are thinking. Then I could have easily hidden it...No need of posting such poems, in which I am being pointed..If I am right, no such comments would affect me. We are still in a society where victim is victimised. Why to talk of big things of society...here the comments itself is the proof..

POEM: You nearly killed me Neelu! by Geetha Jayakumar | Delete this message I am sorry..If you feel that it was cow dung. I cant help it. Only the person who passed through that phase will know, how much terrific it was. It was not just a time pass for me to write such rubbish. You know how you will feel when you are being followed. You will never know nor you will try to know. Place your sister or daughter in that place and see. Any way I cant convince you. Only one thing I can tell is Sorry. Sorry, for the inconvenience for it. I am really sorry that you felt I am doing it for publicity..Never, I have to used such stupid idea to do it. I am really sorry....This is the reply to Lokesh Bahety..which I posted to him. ........................................ Still if you all feel, its just for time pass, I am extremely Sorry... Long back I forgave Neelu also.. To Neelu, I am sorry too.

Hi, is the comment section a platform for sarcasm, or does the elite commenting audience actually believe that the pile of cowdung upstairs makes sense? If people ACTUALLY like what this 'poet' has written, i hate the Mayans for getting their dates wrong

I laughed when i read this poem. Becoz my nick name is also Neelu. Nice poem MR. GEETHA. LOOK like u are in love with Neelu.huh? ?

I thought of sending a message with the suggestion to re-edit the first half of the poem as it contains some mistakes in typing such as spoking, an reply, each poems comes etc.But, the message to is not allowed.So, if you don't mind please do edit.

Fine narration keeping suspense till the end and the rediscovery dramatically make the poem very sweet.

Wow! Geetha, Geetha.I didn't know all these went on in your head.Really, dear.It's coincident.So, sweet confession! Yes, here's my special salute for you!

may be like you Neelu also unrelenting and untiring. Let us watch more fireworks. Nice expressions
