    My knowledge of the technical aspects of poetry is zilch. I just reel off verses as they come to my mind. That is a beautiful technically perfect poem you have written.

      Thank you, Jai :) I have a special love for shape poetry. Just don't ask me to use meters though. I'm horrible at it.

    Ok, the technicality of writing poems is Greek to me. But it was fun to check the syllable count for each line as mentioned by you in the note.

    The poem is beautiful for its ability to give a message despite its simplicity.

    That painting though is surreal. WOW!!!
