Thanks all for making my poem Nature's Vagary achieve RECOGNISED status.I specially thank some of the readers for their detailed reviews.

I just now posted my new poem Nature's Vagary. I hope the readers will like it. The picture used in the background is not very bright & catchy but then , it has to match the content and idea in the poetry!

In my next poem , I will be trying an interesting format .The theme is likely to be nature or life or both nature and life.The title for the poetry is undecided as of now.Will be looking forward to the reviews from the members of FS for this poem.

This is to share with all of you that my poetry "A Divine Mistake" reached ALL TIME BEST status.Thanks All!

Dear members of FS, I convey my sincere thanks to all of you for making my poem "A Divine Mistake" achieve RECOGNISED status.
I would like to convey to all those readers who have felt disturbed with its content ,as per the reviews received from a section of readers ,that the purpose of writing this poetry is in no way to show any disrespect to the Creator. I am a Faithful, believing in complete submission to the Almighty. I have, not too often but seldom, wondered about the purpose of creation, transgressing the normal theological line, when looking at the misery of the people around .I agree, the poem has transcended the boundary drawn by we human , for God , during the course of flow of words & ideas in the poem but in no way , it is intended to be sacrilegious.

Celtic~Soul: One of the divine aspects of writing is that the writer SHOULD push boundaries, explore new directions, and enlighten her readers to what inspired the poem. Don't apologize for combining art and thought--they are more powerful together than alone! If reviewers are rating lower or being abusive because of content, they're not reviewing properly.

Merajul: Thanks a lot for taking out time time and posting your comments on my wall.I am basically trying to drive home the point that the intention behind the poem was never to hurt anybody sentimentally.

Celtic~Soul: I just saw your reply here and on my profile, Merajul. You're very welcome for the input and I completely understand your intentions about the apology. I've been here a while and try to help when I can. One of the best ways I can think of is to remind writers that personal, artistic reflection on even the most staid issues is a great thing! You are certainly free to follow my writing here on FS. I don't post much anymore--my editing business (word-edge.com) keeps me pretty busy lately. I do have a personal-reflection piece posted now. I look forward to seeing you around the site! Dawn

I have just released my poem 'A Divine Mistake' and the initial feedback have started to come.I am waiting more reviews with my fingers crossed.

First of all ,let me thank all the writer reviewers on FS for making my poem "Gone with the Wind" reach ALL TIME BEST status and at the same time making my other poem "Across the Miles" reach RECOGNISED status.Encouraged by this,I am very soon going to release my next poem "A Divine Mistake",for which the title is still tentative. The subject is philosophy/ metaphysical.Hope you will enjoy it and will revert back with your valuable reviews.Once again, my sincere thanks to all of you.

Dear esteemed members of FS, first of all ,I thank you all for your love and encouragement given by viewing my poetry "Gone with the Wind" which I purposely gave a familiar name to attract your attention so that you read it and then you review it on its merit. The task fulfilled with the poem getting RECOGNISED on the very first day of its release. Encouraged by your response ,I am working on my next poem .
My other two poems "An Apparition" and "Across The Miles" are also on FS , having been well recieved so far and would like you to revisit my portfolio for your valuable review.

My next poem is likely to be a nature poetry on which I am currently working. Looking forward to your support.

The last two posts or the first two posts are entries for Contest and hence centred around some specific topic.Would make myself available on more subjects as I learn with time from the esteemed members of FS.

Hi All!
Let us start with myself sharing a para of my first poem "Difference of Mentality" which I penned down when in my school and it also was published in my school magazine.It was written with the backdrop in mind of an old Indian tradition (Riti) where women threw themselves to the burning pyre of their husband upon his death (a custom called Sati, being no more practised now ). It shows the stark contrast in the status that a woman enjoyed in the Indian Society where she is still worshipped as a Goddess. Incidentally , it resurfaced in a remote village in Rajasthan after a long gap when a woman named Roop Kunwar jumped into the burning pyre of her husband during the funeral ceremony.
''Women are very Pretty,
Also , they are worshipped as Deity,
Still , they are forced to Sati,
And they call it as their Riti,
Others proclaim it an Ingenuity
This is the difference of Mentality.''
