A Put-On, Put On

2023-12-04
you never miss it na, a sound in your poem. Beautiful work of art, this poem is. A see saw between seeing and not seeing; aware and alert;despair and hope;light and dark. And you know what, you talk about the dark but show the light.


HOSPITAL DAYS - 1

2023-12-02
ha ha
i loved the way how you say it. at one point of time, i used to be in and out of hospital pretty frequently and for long periods and that too in some faraway town from home. But i was so young and naive then. Its only in retrospect that i can think how it was but still i dont dwell.
Thank you for this poem. Please be there, Allen and keep writing such beautiful poems.

Literally Literary Nothing

2023-11-28
First things first-Your poems are my references about books to read.
What do i say when i barely get your poems but i try reading and re reading them. I guess thats what you also like- someone to really take time out to read these and then understand these. I really appreciate the beauty that lies in here and the standards you hold from yourself and your readers. Or may be it just is like this.
