This is one of my favourite poems. Can’t say too much about it except that I love it’s brevity, sensibility… and the climax.
Young Poets
Write as you will
In whatever style you like
Too much blood has run under the bridge
To go on believing
That only one road is right.
In poetry everything is permitted.
With only this condition of course,
You have to improve the blank page.
— Nicanor Parra

That is so true! 🙂
I love the poems you post. Oh, and I am sorry I forgot to tell you this, but I read those articles on Sulekha that you mentioned a long way back, and loved them. You are gifted,no doubt about that. 🙂
BTW, am adding you to my Friends list. Hope you don’t mind! 🙂
