hiiiiii guysss!!!!
after all the excitement, discussions, controversies,debates,mockings, frustrations, irritations, spittings,(or the lack of them..
).. over my previous post… here i am back with another one..!!!!!
well ive once heard a rumor that the actual number of thirukkurals written by Mr.Thiruvalluvar might have been more than 1330 and that could have been over 2000 kurals and the rest got lost somehow!! (whoa!!! thats one useful bit of info u got from my blog right…? any way u dont have to mention it
).. ok, y in the world shud i say it here… well ya if u havnt guessed it.. then i’m coming to the point. On similar lines, many of the poems which i had written over the years have been lost too
… haha.. well some of them werent exactly lost.. they were simply not worth keeping… well now i wish i cud ve rather kept them… so that we all could have enjoyed reading it.
i showed my first poem to only those people whom i knew wud say it is good and i was extremely proud. i imagined that in few years there wud be third or fourth standard students reading my poem in their english work book and that they wud be alloted 1 mark!!!!( ‘ – ‘ ).. for merely mentioning my name at the end of it
and half a mark reduced for each punctutaion they missed and spelling mistake they made…. haaa haaa!! well i cant explain how exciting a feeling it was
. And as time went on i grew!!!!(amazing na!!) and the young “shake-fear” sorry shakespear in me was growing rapidly.. like terrorism in india…( ‘ – ‘ )..
i wrote lot of rhyming lines which i was calling poems and showed them to my teachers and i sometimes could pick up how good it was from the “kashayam drinking” expression that came on their faces. recently i found one of my “poems” which i remember i had written during my tenth standard vacation…
i was sooo busy those days….. that being idle was my most exciting timepass and sleeping was the only useful thing which i had been doing.. and one fine evening i wrote it…..
Writing a poem
i took a pencil and a piece of paper
i thought of wrting a poem..
i saw the stars and the sky behind
nothing did strike in my mind..
what should i write
about which should i write?
i sat confused that night
whether to write about the air
which blows away and takes no care..
whether to write about the moon
which shines at night and sleeps at noon
whether to write about the tides
which reach the bay by taking many strides..
I couldn’t find and answer
Oh! The nature!
Its every creature
To watch is a pleasure.
So i tore the paper
i began to watch
i watched it till i slept and
i’ll watch it till i sleep..
ya… ya.. i agree… the ending is not original..
. its definitely inspired and u know from where..;) well nothing much can be done now… i desperately wanted to finish the poem with wat i believed a ” touchin line”
.. well one person was thoroughly impressed by this poem… and he used to read it daily those days.. and it was “myself”
…. and the story of my poems went on and on… until wen i reached a point wer i realised something.. which i shud have realised after my first poem. after that all my poetic abilities (if there were any?) come into action only for few dear ones on their birthdays..
ok i think… i shud stop with this poem thingy here… i dont want wordpress removing my blog for making readers go mad.. well i promise i wont post any poems in my next post… but u know that wont make your reading experience any better… ok now for our best part which is loved by all……
tataaaaa!!!!!!byeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Marvellous….. Superb…… Rajesh wonderful thoughts( oakanthu yosipangalo??) after reading ur poem i felt u really worth comparing to shakespear ……. still cant accept ur comparison of shakefear within u and terrorism…. ur shakespear(not fear) should grow and terrorism should recede… i m proud after getting to know ur poetic skills…. nice one keep posting da…..
only one doubt for me…
nee poyam ezhudhiniya illaya…
he he he…. chumma… kidding.. cool..
machee, nee appo ezhudhinathu nu poi solli ippo ezhudhara poem ellathayum publicize panriya da?
Jokes apart, it WAS a wonderful poem, really. the ending was stolen, i know from where, but still the whole thought is like SO wonderful, we can forgive the last two lines.
Maybe you should take your poetry skills outta the paraN, dust them and start using them again. Give the world some happiness
i know u ll scibble something and later christen them perfectly as ‘poems’..
but this s clearly a neat one machi..
keep writing…ennikavadhu oru naal edhavadhu thaerum!!
an really sorry for makin u actually fed up askin me to read ur blogs…
rock on man,
cheers
