PARTING

After that brief acquaintance, We have now parted our ways. I haven't asked for your address, It hardly makes any sense. I haven't asked for your phone number, Not to trouble you at the busiest hour. We have never been friends ofcourse, As I have never related tales of mine, Or you have never told me stories of your own. But our netted looks have bound us for sometime. If somewhere, sometime in future, May be as a pattered rain drop Or as a sound of laughter, I may come back to your memory, And spend my time in your leisure, Don't be surprised! And perhaps I wish the same Will happen to me, But poems not deciphered appeal better, Songs heard afar sound sweeter, Silhouettes look more beautiful, And a person half known seems dearer!!

Sheela, Welcome to TPL. I do hope that what I'm about to say will not offend you for it is meant with deep regard to your ability as an author and only constructively...so take my suggestions or leave them. First, you need to tighten this up, take out the extra words that tend to drag it's rthym down, other than that you've conveyed the emotions and sentiments of your subject matter. Thank you for the opportunity to read your work and I hope we see more of your writing. Best always, Lora

Welcome, Sheela. I don't know what you're looking for here. Let me know, and I'll try to give it to you. Just saying hello as this point. MSS

first of all welcome to the link and thank you for posting....Parting...from the very beginning it brought memories forth of this man I once knew ....how his walking into a room would bring a smile upon my face and light my heart and yes, not once did we ever go out. interesting how some cross our paths, perhaps we long for more but are always satisfied with waiting to see.....enjoyed the presentation of your poem, the word flow, the images ....would not change a thing. God Bless, Claire

Hi Sheela...This poem reads like a bittersweet memory about a friend now lost. Congrats on the publishing. Don't scream but I am going to noodle with this just a bit to tighten it up. After that brief acquaintance, We have (now) parted (our) ways. I haven't asked for your address, It hardly makes (any) sense. I haven't asked for your phone number, Not to trouble you at the busiest hour. We have never been friends (ofcourse),.........of course (As) I have never related tales of mine, (Or) you (have) never told me stories of your own. (But) our netted looks (have) bound us (for sometime.) If somewhere, sometime (in future), May be as a pattered rain drop..............maybe Or (as) a sound of laughter, I may come back to your memory, ............drop comma as you begin the next line with 'and' And spend my time in your leisure, Don't be surprised!.......................actually I would delete this line as it adds nothing to the theme (And) perhaps I wish the same Will happen to me, (But) poems not deciphered appeal better, Songs heard afar sound sweeter, Silhouettes look more beautiful, ................drop the comma as you begin the next line with 'and' And a person half known seems dearer!! by deleting the words I have indicated it will thighten up the lines and make it read smoother. This is a fine idea for a poem and I enjoyed reading it. Cheers....Marilyn
