The Cry of Heart

At long last, we are back to square one. The issue of word "fries" remains unresolved so it remains un-edited. As I have love and respect for you I will make a last attempt of consulting a good Rhyming Dictionary to see finally a rhyming word even close in meaning of what I am wanting to convey. Changing the rhyme scheme will be a murder of an aesthetically charming Quatrain.

Thanks for your appreciation of my Quatrain. I have noted your disapproval for the use of word "fries" in the second line. Debbie Guzzi was the first to raise this issue. My reply was: "Word 'fries' has not been used as noun. The word, although not the only suitable one to convey my meaning, has been selected for the reason of rhyming. The word has been used in the sense of 'burns'. Believe me French Fries were not remotely in my mind while writing the Quatrain". I hope this satisfies you. If you still feel this word must be replace kindly offer suggestions.

Thanks for your kind appreciation, Tiffany

Thanks Richard for your very kind comment

Welcome back. Poetrysoup and your readers missed your awesome poetry. Your absence was felt. Now make up for the lost time and give us your best work to read. Thanks for your kind comments. No it is not real. It is a fiction.

Debbie, You have always been an admirer of my work. There is no problem with the occasional disagreement. Sometimes positive disagreements must be welcomed for better awareness. Here word 'fries' has not been used as noun. The word, although not the only suitable one to convey my meaning, has been selected for the reason of rhyming. The word has been used in the sense of 'burns'. Believe me French Fries were not remotely in my mind while writing the Quatrain. As you have said translating of thoughts from a second language is a tough job. My freind Jo Cookson of England who used to conduct a workshop of authors and poets at the British Council, Lisbon, Portugal once said, "when you write in English, think in English and not in your own language". From that time onward I trained my mind to think in the language I am writing. Love and regards

You have such a hard job translating your thoughts to a second language [I don't even speak more than one language!] You are a very good writer, sometimes I'm too abrupt and rushed. Your use of the word [fries] made me see, what americans call, french fries and I know you didn't want that..very sorry if my too brief comment hurt you..Light & Love

Thanks Laura for your splendid comment. I am grateful for your lavish praise

Thanks Annie for your learned comments.

Thanks Anne for your very kind comments. Being a poet of outstanding qualities you have a heart that moves. I admire you.
