This past week had been kind of interesting. As I said before, there was no net for 4 days. After a while I found it cool. I did a lot of writing. I kind of played around with words. I mostly write free verse though I lapse into rhyming in between. I forced myself to write those two poems dealing with mathematics as I needed to contribute stuff for our school yearbook.
I have written some fine pieces on education system too. I will post those after I polish them a bit. I rarely rewrite my poems as thinking does not help me at all. My poetry has to be raw. I seldom edit those. Editing changes the whole damn meaning. My first thoughts are really what I want to convey.
An online friend of mine, Carol Roach wants me write about India, its culture, its diversity, Hinduism to contribute to her storytime tapestry. That should keep me busy forever. I will post some of those reflections here too.
I do try to update Doctrine Of The Bhagavadgita

No internet for four days, that's like no air!!! Keep writing Gautami, love your poems!!
I just posted one, pat!
i'm with you
i seldom re-draft after a first read-through
Right, floots. Somehow I never get around to editing. If I live any poem unfinished it stays that.
It's funny that you say something about a school yearbook -- my post yesterday was about one. :)
Ha! I just read your comment on mine -- I guess you saw it before. :)
Gautami, I would love to read your writings on India, truly I would. You are such a splendid observer of people, besides, being an Indian you have lorry loads of your own reflections on this wonderful country - the culture, the heritage, the influence of Hinduism on all aspects of our lives - social, family and business...do take up this project please, it's right up your alley!
Andrew, I had seen your verse. I liked it too much.
Lotus: thanks. I will give my best shot!
