Various Verses…



(1)

Reflected me

It shone my beauty

That Thespian hero gazed into the pool

But you lured me into those two

I plunged

I drowned

I lived.


(2)

No you haven’t told me

In dull, insipid words

But I could listen

In your silence

Or read between those words

Which were left fumbling

For me to ponder…


(3)

Thick blue mist hovered

Nebula threw up that genie

And he asked me to make three.


I wished you

I wished you

I wished you.


He told me I wasted two.

I replied, he wasted three.


He smiled and moved on…

1. Tough job that I undertook
Was to comment on your work
But I neva knw the fatal result
I plunged
I drowned
I went deeper n deeper
And now I lose………….
………to comment on ur work is a fool’s task, ‘coz ne smart prsn vl b left speechless aftr reading u…….

2. No am nt gonna tell u
Either in words or emotions
Bt make sure to understand
Or read between the words
Which were NEVER spoken
For u to muse

3. Tuku, to ur reply to my last comment, I wud like to say u that ‘its tough to gather words to praise the class of Dan Brown, bt its impossible to even think of praising the class of Shakespeare…’
This verse of urs, put u in the later class, & henceforth m sorry, that I cant comment on ur work this time as well………..
