My poetry you can turn
around, and fling
back; embroidery-reverse is no less
perfect and is as pure and you can
claim that I was
'reverse' and you the
original and righteous weaver of tale
and tear. time saw this,
as they say, and that is
all that can be said or needs
saying.

i personally believe that 'magic' about poetry is that the reader has the liberty to 'feel' 'understand' ' appreciate' the way he/she likes. and the most important thing here is that people generally like to read them 'personalizing' the incident or the topic that the poet discuss. the poetry is not a personal property of a poet. generally the topics that the poets discuss are 'common' to current societies or things that can be seen and obvious in a world village though sometimes he/she discuss personal things'
