Old Socks

Thank You, Sprocket. So. How`s Fraggle Rock down under:-). thanks for the faith. :-)

Thank you for all your comments.

My poem is about emotional compromises and self-deception. The creation by oneself of an acceptable reality or to put it like my Professor, the human desire to see only what one wants to. But in the last line, the poet is unable to lie to herself and finds it difficult to compromise through self-deception. Anyway a poem can have a thousand views and yours is edifying.

Re: The Whirling Dervish

I for one, enjoy your poems a lot. Going by the criticisms I get ranging from accusative to rude and very rude, I should have long since packed my notebook!! No one ever says nasty things about yours:-(

RE: Whirling Dervish `` ... could you please divulge your secret in cultivating an adoring fan base? ...``

WD`s got a point here. I wish I had a fan club on Chowk when I got nailed to the cross
a few weeks ago :)-

Re: Whirling Dervish

Platitudes?? Gee, you just lost only fan you had. :)

Gurbuk kushtum roz-e-awwal

very emotive poem, saima. Good to have you writin again on Chowk.

Hey, Saima!

Long time no see, good to see you back in circulation!

I am a little confused - is the poem about lying and covering up? or more than that?
