Lovely post (and poem), Karthik. I have great admiration for people who can write poems. It has always seemed like an intimidating venture to me. I suppose the first step to remedy this is to read more poems. Do continue sharing your poems with the world. They can help the likes of me!
It's funny I would come to this when I posted a 'poem' too! Karthik, poetry mere bass ki na hai lol! But, what you shared above makes me wonder why haven't we read more poetry from you?! Please keep sharing!
“Sometimes, writing that essay feels like I am overexplaining myself. Whereas, I could have expressed myself in the few lines of a poem and got done with my day’s work.”
Such a simple and wonderful explanation for what a poem does! Thanks Karthik!
I want to add to the east- west poem😀. In school we used to say “ North or south, there is no doubt, that east or west, our school is the best!” We believed this was super sophisticated poetry!😀

Thanks so much, Rohan! One step at a time. I will start sharing poems from now :)
Thank you, Karthik, this is the perfect Sunday read. Sundays are for poetry.
Thank you Natasha! Yay I'm glad it made your Sunday! :)

Whoa! I had thought about it in school - whatever happened to North and South? Finally, mystery uncovered! Thank you, Supriya :))
