From what place?
From corners of a mind,
Where thoughts interlace

In what way?
In manners by which
Many hearts will sway

For which one?
For souls that dare
To shadow the sun

Till what time?
Till the day when
There’s left no rhyme

To where next?
To galaxies of verses,
Governed only by text

    It’s a lovely piece Kavita, I love the galaxies of verses :)

    • Kavita says:

      You know Cindy, The idea for this poem began with a thought that crossed my mind – “galaxy of verses”.. these 3 words somehow just seemed to cross my head, while i was in the shower :) …and then, the rest of the poem just happened…
      I am so glad you liked it…thanks!!!
      Happy New Week! :)

  14. Shravan says:

    The poem is meaningless from out but deeply meaningful.
    Do u remember me? I am Shravan. My book ‘Values of Humanity’ Has been published and is available on I-Proclaim bookstore.

    • Kavita says:

      I remember reading your work, Shravan… Great to learn about your book being published!! Congratulations!
      Thanks for stopping by my blog… glad you liked this read, and found it worth your while… it was tribute to every poem in the world, ever written or ever conceived!
      Have a fabulous week ahead!!!

  15. I too am fascinated by that shadow the sun line. Very evocative and visual.

    Such big questions. Such a big universe filled with love unfathomable.

    xo

    • Kavita says:

      absolutely! And sometimes, poems find and bring answers to some deep and otherwise tough questions…don’t you think? Glad you liked the read, Jannie… Thank you for your kind words here… I really appreciate it!

      Have a lovely week ahead, my friend… (hugs)

  16. Nessa says:

    I like the way you ended with a question.

    • Kavita says:

      Oh Nessa… I had ended it with an answer.. but these web browser glitches made the formatting go haywire.. So I’ve changed it now! So you will see 5 questions and 5 answers too :)
      I hope you still enjoy the poem (with the answer at the end :) )

      Have a lovely week ahead, my sweet friend..

  17. claudia says:

    that’s really cool….till the day when there’s left no rhyme…hope that day will never come…

    • Kavita says:

      Aaahh… thanks a TON, Claudia!! I too hope so…
      Glad you enjoyed the read, girl…
      So, Cheers to writing!! :)
      And have a fantastic week ahead!!! (hugs)

  18. Harshika says:

    wow!! amazing :)

    nice write :)

  19. Eric Alder says:

    Interesting 55, although I’m not so sure I like how all the questions are “Mr.” and all the answers are “Ms.” – but it’s your piece, to write as you see fit.

    (I just know that I – a “Mr.” – have plenty of answers… and my wife has LOTS of questions!)

    • Kavita says:

      hehehe.. I see where you’re coming from, Eric!
      Well, this was an interview of a poem.. and I somehow thought a poem to be female…Further, I didn’t want to confuse the reader by making the interviewer female as well.. so I had to make him a “He”… And hence, this piece :)
      I really felt liked I owed you an explanation here ;-)

      As for questions and answers, my hubby will agree with you.. hehehe
      Have a great week ahead, my friend!! :)

  20. pravin nair says:

    Hi Kavita,

    this is well done..I liked the verses and the way you have used the words here..

    Thnks for the share :)

    • Kavita says:

      woohoo.. thanks a ton, Pravin!! Glad you enjoyed the read… :)
      Good luck for your recent book, and best wishes for many many more…

      Have a great week!

  21. Thom says:

    So creative this is. What a beautiful 55 my friend. Very well done :)

    • Kavita says:

      Yaaahooo.. thank you, Thom!!
      I figured this is what a poem might have to say, if interviewed ..So glad you enjoyed the read :)

      Hope you are having an awesome week!

  22. Thom says:

    And have a great weekend :)

  23. reedssss says:

  24. tekia says:

    Simply wonderful Kavita :-) love the wisdom of Ms. Answer: “in manners by which many hearts will sway” and “to galaxies of verses governed only by text”- awesome lines. Bravo to a great poet!!

    • Kavita says:

      Oh… I am humbled by your kind words, Tekia.. thank you, my dear friend!!!
      I thought this is what a poem will have to say, if she were ever interviewed :) Glad you enjoyed the read!!
      Hope you have a SUPERB week ahead…. (MANY HUGS)

  25. Val says:

    Very spiritual and deeper when read more than once. This is my kind of poem. :)

    • Kavita says:

      yaaay.. thanks a bunch Val!! Glad to see that this is your kind of a poem!!! I am happy I could write something that appealed to you… yipppeee !

      Hope you are having an awesome week, my friend..

  26. Jamie Dedes says:

    The linear vs. the intuitive is how I read this?? Yes?

    Lovely. Well done, Kavita, as always.

    • Kavita says:

      Oh yes… that’s one way to look at it!!! When I was writing, I was thinking of it as an interview of a poem… so yea, in a way, your interpretation seems so much aligned with mine… yaaayyy!!! Thanks a ton for reading into the lines and words, Jamie… you are always so thoughtful… I really appreciate your comments and insights..
      Glad you liked this poem…

      Have a beautiful day/week, my dear friend… (hugs)

  27. Ollin says:

    I loved this piece. You’re quite a poet! :) I love that the rhyme of the poem didn’t feel forced, it felt very natural, and there was nothing that stopped the flow. Good work!

    • Kavita says:

      Oh wowww!!! And this is quite a compliment, Ollin… thank you so much for your kind words… and I am extremely delighted to know that you really enjoyed this poem…
      The idea for this poem had originally spurred from the word “next”.. I was just wondering what rhymed with it, and I thought of “text”, and then the rest just flowed into my head :) …We have really strange ways of thinking..don’t we? :)

      Have a fantastic week ahead, my friend…

  28. ds says:

    Nice! Creative and thought-full. I don’t believe you will run out of rhymes…

    • Kavita says:

      Ooooohhh.. That’s the best one can wish for me… Thank you so much, DS… that really means a LOT to me!! I am very glad you liked this poem…

      Have a fun week ahead, my friend…

  29. jannatwrites says:

    I loved this poem, simple and beautiful. The picture was cool, too :)

    • Kavita says:

      Wasn’t it?!?!?!? Thank you sooo much, Janna… your words just made me grin wide!!! Cuz that’s how I had thought after I was done writing this poem!! Yaayy…
      And that image?! That took a lot of hunting :) But as soon as I saw this one, I just KNEW that it would perfect for this piece…
      So I am VERY glad you liked this poem and the picture… thank you once again!!

      Have a gorgeous week, Janna!! Take care.. (many hugs)

  30. You always push me to write
    Though it is a really big delight
    You create awonderful scene
    And sleep with you in dreams
    http://drmadangoyal.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/surgeons-handicap/

    • Kavita says:

      Awww…thanks, Doctor.. I am very happy to see that you are constantly inspired to write poems… it’s lovely!
      Glad you enjoyed this one…

      And I hope you are having a wonderful week…

  31. Abhishek says:

    True .. very true..

    The last two lines ….

    How just some text can give produce something so powerful….

    • Kavita says:

      hehehe.. and to think that I started off this poem with a hunt for a word that rhymed with ‘next’!!! :)
      Glad you enjoyed the read, Abhi…. Thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation….

      Have a super fabulous week ahead! (hugs)

  32. Lua says:

    “the galaxies of verses ”
    Lovely Kavita- it made me smile! Thank you for the sweet little poem :)

    • Kavita says:

      Glad you liked it.. thank youuuu!!!
      Have a beautiful week…. (many hugs)

  33. Chloe says:

    This is so creative Kavita! Captivating! Well done for another awesome poem :D xx

    • Kavita says:

      Yippee!! Thank you, Chloe!!!!
      Glad you enjoyed it… it had started off as a thought in my shower.. as word that culd rhyme with “next”!! Can you beat that?!?!? :) I am really weird.. I am now beginning to believe it myself! hehehe

      Hope your weekend was WOW!!! Have a fun day/week ahead, girlie.. mwahz and hugs..

      • Chloe says:

        Ah, next is such a difficult word to rhyme with isn’t it? I can only think of vex….but maybe that came to mind because you vex me ‘cos you’re such a brilliant poet :D haha

        It’s amazing where inspiration comes from though isn’t it? It’s also amazing how inspiration can dry up – which is what I’m going through at the moment. ah…but it’ll pass :D

        I think I agree with you – yes Kavita, you are VERY weird! lol…but in a nice way of course!

        Have a lovely Thursday my friend :D xx

        • Kavita says:

          This is like the AWESOMESTEST comment ever!!
          I like being called ‘weird’.. kinda makes me feel like I am different and all that… I see you are a Capricorn yourself… if so, same pinch! I suppose this ‘weird’ thing is a Capri trait ;-)
          It really is amazing how n where inspiration comes from…!!! Geeee.. let’s not even get there! phheewww
          LOVE YA, Crazy Chloe!! You are too too toooooo good! And I so love our chats…
          Oh by the way… Mickey? What about him?

          • Chloe says:

            Mickey is doing okay and he sends his regards! lol…I think the mice are slowly going away….I’ve not seen any…just their droppings which is GROSS!!! haha. I’m not too worried about them anymore – I think the novelty has worn off! Ha – been there, got the t-shirt!!!!

            Ah, so you’re a capricorn too…might explain why we get on! Or why we can get away with calling one another weird!! haha

            Oh, since my last comment, I found some inspiration from somewhere to write a couple of poems…

            I still don’t know where you get all of your blogging energy from!! You rock!!! I love our chats Tooooo :D You are so much more responsive than Stormy, my little dog ;-) xx

            • Kavita says:

              Woohoo.. way to go, girl!! Keep writing… Don’t let the inspiration “wear off” .. if you are anything like me, then you had better get to the poems RIGHT AWAY, before the words decide to go on a stroll .. you know what I mean..?
              And I m more responsive than STORMY?!?!?? PLEASE… I am sure Stormy gets tired of your energy at times!! :)
              Mouse droppings…eeeewwww!!
              Me just wrote a poem.. looking for a title and a picture to go with it now.. after that, I will post it.. yaaaayyyy

      With encouragement from you, I am sure I can keep writing, with the hope of entertaining readers in the process as well… thanks a bunch, DP..

  35. siubhan says:

    “for souls that dare/to shadow the sun”–amazing, my friend. :)
