A Tribute To My Readers

A writer is incomplete without the readers, so this is a short tribute to you all....

My dear readers,
I'm grateful to you all,
for being here...

Each time i write a poem,
i earnestly wait,
wait for your reviews,
because, they tell me the depth,
to which my poems are true..!

I never thought,
that I'd write,
but there's a story
a story, behind it,
full of insight,
that makes one smile.
which I'd like
to share with y'all
tonight...

When I was a kid
of twelfth grade,
it was the day, i think,
third or fourth of May,
I remember the day,
I remember the date,
it was the Moral Science
class on 5th of May,
My teacher told us
to write something,
on the topic, `When I'll bid Adieu`
While others wrote
one or two lines,
I was there
with four lines..!
she checked everyone's writing,
by her keen mind,
and intense understanding..
And when she came to me,
and read those four lines,
the situation, i feel was truly divine!

I  know not
what she saw in
those lines,
she came to me,
and urged me,
to complete that poem
By May nine...
the next day, i did it,
and later,
it got published in our
first school magazine,
for the first time..!

Everyone who read,
appreciated it a lot,
and encouraged me
to continue this
great work of mine,
In the coming time.

but all that happened,
was because of Her
my lovely teacher
that time,
who fell in love
with those four lines!

yes, my dear readers,
I'd really love to tell,
that,
if i write well today,
its entire credit goes to her.!!

Then i came here,
and wrote more poems,
and the result i think,
y'all have in front of you!


My dear readers,
i really cherish your presence,
in reading and reviewing my writings,
and i cordially thank you, and wish,
that, in future, you will be even
more supporting.


if i am a poem, you are my words.!
if i am a book, you are the pages.!
So, i request you, to always be
with me,
in this race of chaste,
as a book is empty, without pages,
and a poem, useless, without
words and phrases..!!

This is a well spoken expression of how you got into writing. I think that your teacher had an excellent assignment using "adieu" as a starting point for a poem. I just wrote such a poem and placed it on my page: Thanks for the inspiration, Saumya!

[Saumya]

lol..:) really great tom hear that from you friend,
i agree, sometimes its not the Begining, but the end which starts a new Begin:)
and i think she really had a splendid plan for me....:)
really felt great that you could relate:)

A kind and well-written tribute; I love that your teacher encouraged you to write! She is right - you have a talent! I really enjoyed this metaphor: if I am a poem, you are my words...if I am a book, you are the pages.

[Kristin Lee]

Keep on writing and developing those skills. You have some zingers in here. Its awesome that you had a teacher there to guide you along and recognize the talent you have. Keep it up.

[Sheila Kline]

Bravo to your teacher for recognizing the gift of writing you have, and for encouraging you to continue using it to share with others. Thank you for listening to her wisdom and insight!! You have told us of it in a way that shall be remembered, and that is a gift!!
