Though am not entirely sure if such moods are the monopoly of women. :) Ideasmith: Happy New Year! I love The Little Prince. Thanks for the lovely line. I think it's time I go back (once more) to the book. guruprasad: Everyone is a senti sucker. Yep. Crazyfinger: I hope to have a wonderful 2009, but for now my energy is focused on 2008. :) Thank you for enjoying the poetry. As for silence, I think sometimes a lingering "..." does a fascinating job. Have a great year ahead and may you see poetry everywhere! dhananjayan: Am trying to figure out why you're sorry.. hhmm? Krishnan: Thanks. And have a great 2008! Deepa: Thank you for the lovely response. Though am not entirely sure if such moods are the monopoly of women. :)

Two conflicting urges. One, an unforced self-awareness these lines brought me into, making me want to walk away from the computer and stare at nothing in particular outside the window. Second, an automaton-like impulse to respond by typing up some comment merely to satisfy this impulse. After a long moment I decided not to comment on this poem, but merely communicate what ought to be communcated, that is, the circumstances of these responses. May be we all should gather together and invent technologies to communicate silence...wouldn't that be a dream...! Thanks for all the poems you wrote. Before I discovered your blog sometime around March of this year, my opinion of poetry was: "If it is not Holderlin poetry, then don't bother." In other words, I neither related to Holderlin nor poetry. But look, you got me reading nothing but poetry in everything I read these days and that is not to say it is all in the <i>poetic form</i>...! Have a terrific 2009...!
