Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Sometimes

Sometimes you ask me a question
When you already have the answer,

Sometimes you speak volumes
About matters you barely know,

Sometimes you ask for my opinion
Having presumed a judgment,

At times like these I listen, but never utter a word
And you respond in kind with a stern look.

Paul Callus October 30, 2018 at 3:01 PM The art of communication!! Undoubtedly, many from both sexes will find themselves relating to this! Regards // paul

Rhoda Tripp January 24, 2018 at 11:23 PM I believe I've lived this scenario at least twice in my life for 10 and 15 years at a time. Ha! Great write. I so felt it.

Andrea Dietrich January 17, 2018 at 3:41 PM I really really like how you did this one. VERY in tune with "how it works" between women and certain types of men who have not learned well the art of true communication. ( I suppose the bad one could be the woman, but I think it's been proven women are better at communication than men are generally speaking) Vijay Pandit January 17, 2018 at 4:05 PM Thank you Andrea..appreciate your thoughts and sentiments.

Judith S January 17, 2018 at 3:37 PM I might assume you speak of a woman here Vijay ;) At any rate, your action is the most appropriate lol. ~ Judy Vijay Pandit January 17, 2018 at 4:05 PM Thank you Judy...appreciate your feedback.

James Swartz January 16, 2018 at 6:47 PM Yes this is a great poem but it also tells how we communicate. Looks can be loud thoughts we hear with a glance. I really enjoy this one Vijay! Vijay Pandit January 17, 2018 at 7:01 AM Appreciate your kind words James..many thanks.

Jean Murray January 16, 2018 at 5:25 PM People are strange, but at least there is some sort of communication going on between you. Even if it is only a look. Vijay Pandit January 17, 2018 at 7:00 AM Thank Jean..you are so right..appreciate your comments.
