Quicksand

Like quick sand and her looks Poetry is deep within; Not until the SOS moment dawns You realize how futile your exercises are. With wanton mischief I entered those innocuous looking waters... After I stepped in, out of infatuation, It stuck me, no use struggling I submit to her ... still and silent Any effort to the contrary Would only multiply my misery.

Hi SKAT, That is so nice of all of you. I am not able locate how I can I reply your comments. I am logging from the message mail to my inbox. Is there a better alternative. I am guilty of responding late because of this initial difficulty. Thank you once again and I am sure I shall have some fruitful interaction with poets here.

Hi Anne Lise Andresen, I am sorry for this late reply. I could not somehow locate the reply button. I am from India. I love to read and if possible translate some of the poems here ( with due permission) into Telugu, the second largest language spoken in India. I am running a blog for the last 4 years translating some of the world's best poetry have done over one Thousand. best regards
