Dear old comedian They sit with the pulsing anticipation Every time the dilapidated Comedian takes the stage with wearing a wry smile. Rustles of the mice beneath the stage, An electric fan fumbling in its orbit, They are waiting to laugh at gestures, Thinking every little utterance is joke, Your sentence will end with a tagline, Something to play and roll in happy humor. So when you say: “I no longer can chuckle Even at the cracked mirror!” They hooted and discussed what is there to laugh. You say that you have buried Your remains long ago, under a mild stone. Then, all they think while grinning Is that you have spent your jokes. clever talks delay friendship! |

Your poetry has layers of symbolism, Poddar, and I'm enjoying your writings. |

You never fail to bring intriguing emotions. It's so sad, yet he is aware and thus he survives. Very well rendered! Love. Margherita |
