Nostalgia




Nothing can make me forget
Of that time, when we met
Sitting as one, with oceans apart
Talking straight to each other’s heart
Anticipating the looks of this new friend
Longing for her over the weekend
~
Grudgingly so, I remember again
I gave her so much of bliss and pain
~
As she returns, more I feign!

    Thanks Navin ...
    ... I have grown up reading Old English and Bengali poems and listening to Hindi songs, that does not matter how turbulent the sea is, somehow manage to rhyme. So do I. I just try to keep it going - try to be meaningful. And when I cannot, you can see, not all my poems rhyme!!

    Thanks for the fast read and comment too ... please read my older posts when you find time :)

    I must confess, I didn't know what an acrostic poem was until AFTER I read your poem and clicked on your link. I'm blown away that you wrote such a flowing and seamless poem under the constraints of having to make each line start with a certain letter. Very impressive! And beautifully written.

    Tan those last three lines were a kicker, and I had to laugh as the image took over in my mind ... turn around is fair play. Good work here.

    Flows very well. One thing I love about your poems is the emotion that's behind each and every line.
