In awe, subdued in pure amazement, I stand, Admiring the movements of this magician's wand, Lost in articulate stories of love and care, And in beautiful tales of heart break and love's despair. Many a lovely ballad, this songwriter writes, Humour is his forte, an expert in the nuances of poetry, He is a rustic's pride as well as a connoisseur's delight I bow down in deep respect to his many verses' wizardry -------- |

This is just like you; to pen such a caring work of art to one who's artistry touches all who have the pleasure. "YOUR" wand or"temp" whichever is on duty is magical in itself. As always I enjoyed much. |

Wonderful tribute Sudhir, beautifully stated as always. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

This was a lovely tribute Sudhir ... I'm pleased that my poem to Balladeer inspired you to pen these lovely thoughts also. I'm truly grateful to be able to read all the wonderful works here at Passions. Some days I just get overwhelmed with the talent within these walls. Beautiful poem Sudhir. Best wishes, /Kit |

Sudhir - this is a fine tribute to a great person and poet. Just one piece of advice: When you are bowing down to 'Deer, please hitch up your pants first, or everybody will think you're either a plumber or a cable TV installer!  |

Beyond such a wonderful well deserved tribute you have quite a touch with the old magic wand yourself Sudhir. I have enjoyed many of your well concieved compositions almost as if being entertained by legerdemain using words. |
