You have a very positive outcome for someone as a beginner; please don't ever lose that. A lot of people find beginning something to be a frightening experience or they're self conscious about it because they don't want to be seen as a beginner. A poem like this goes a long way to instilling the a bit of reinforcement that beginning should be view as a positive experience, that learning something should be fun and enlightening.
Thanks again for the read request; great work as usual, Saumya.
Every time I think I know something, I find myself learning something new about it, or about myself, or even someone else. I've never been this old before, so I suppose I'm always a beginner!

:) thankyou for sharing your thoughts.life, indeed is a lesson to be learnt and lived everyday.
Eternal optimism! I like this. As someone who works with young people, I agree that the beginner is valuable. Beginners must not lose hope- everyone started there once!
I enjoyed the message very much.

Nice write! I only see a few grammar errors, like remember to keep it all in the same tense, especially in the first stanza, and, other than that, it's really good. I like your flow.
I like your overall concept & the way you expressed it here. My only "bump" was the way you use "beginner" to mean someone young & then there are the old people used in comparison. Even tho I get what you mean by this, it's kind of a put-down for older people, as if we can't also be a beginner in anything new we wish to do. In fact, trying new things is the best way of NOT being a stereotypical old person. But this is just my opinion. I think you are trying to allude to this in the ending, as if anyone can be a beginner, but this last stanza does not do it justice. It sounds like more of a general pep talk, rather than conveying a single powerful idea, for example, that we are all beginners, all our lives, becuz life throws curve balls all the time and we must learn to adapt & pick ourselves up & keep going. In summary, I think the weakness of this message is that it's too general. When we add details & draw word pictures of how things look & feel & happen, then our writing becomes more original & memorable. This is a good message & I'm not saying to change it. But as you write more & more, try to differentiate your message with details & focus.

This was basically a poem that I wrote in my college lab unplanned :) when I initially started my college, was just a little grown up kid then, and just wrote this piece, thinking about all that I was being through a beginner :)
It was in this way given the tittle "when you are a beginner"...this poem exactly is all that I experienced and learned as a student in those early days if my college life :)
Thank you so much for your big and really honest review dear!
For a beginner, if you are indeed one, this is not a bad beginning at all. The poem feels innocent and refreshingly honest. It is humble in its presentation but the desire and eagerness to learn is also palpable. I often find that new writers lend a kind of raw freshness to their poems that more experienced writers often don't. I could at this point offer several pieces of technical advice with regards to the aesthetics of the poem but I will do no such thing. I think you need to hone your raw talent simply by writing more for a while. Just unleash your creativity and in the process, you will carve and identity for yourself. Once your persona as a poet takes form, the intricacies of craftsmanship will follow. Keep smiling, keep writing and enjoy your creative journey. All the best!
