tishnagi
tish na gi
from persion, noun
1:pyasa
2:kinayatan shiddat e aarzoo: shiddat e shauq:

now go check on shauq...specially the sufistic implications of shauq as in iqbal`s

maqaam e ishq say aasaN guzar gaya iqbal
maqaam e shauq maiN khoya gaya woh ferzana

...and then perhaps backtrack and think of other hungers and yearnings...

Great poetry..!!

temporal: that didnt sound much like poetry to me..more like random thoughts that suggest wisdom in an abstract manner so that those who want to see it say they do...like the emperors new clothes....i dont want to be the boy who cries the-king-is-naked but will u please help me see the threads?

khatam-shud:

thanks for reading these…er thoughts…you raise an important issue which am eminently not qualified to answer…what is poetry? …to really proffer a definition of poetry is a gargantuan task beyond the reach of this fringe poet…

…a quick check and i find these working definitions of poetry:

1. The art of apprehending and interpreting ideas by the faculty of imagination; the art of idealizing in thought and in expression.
2. Imaginative language or composition, whether expressed rhythmically or in prose.
3: any communication resembling poetry in beauty or the evocation of feeling
4: ``the measured language of emotion.``

…the poems i offered here are not verse by any stretch…or so i would like to delude myself perhaps;)…yes the emperor could very well be clothed, semi-clad or nude…it all depends on individual’ s perception…

Azee, sobs Banjaara thanks

temporal: wondering...what was the inspiration?

temporal: thats the whole catch actually...the emperors clothes dont depend on individual perception...either they are there, or they aren`t.

ps:

please sub prose for verse

khatam-shud

...the emperors clothes dont depend on individual perception...either they are there, or they aren`t...

...if you say so...let us agree to disagree...

...the `inspiration` is a loaded one...need time to reflect than articulate a reply...so if you excuse me i will quote tom hanks in forrest gump...``s-it happens``...yes, i know have a rustice s-o-h!
