Dear Raj

I enjoyed this poem of yours. 

In the normal course, poets exaggerate the love that develop between individuals. You have made this poem look like through the following verses that poets are loveless. That expresses how strong you are in explaining the love that Shekar holds for his love.

ignore the loveless poet
who put on prophetic airs;

Truly wonderful! I have read several poems of yours. They hold a unique style. I am emerging out to be a fan of your writings.

Hey Raj,

Your patient explanation to Lil Pad (or Pam) on the 'game' is interesting. 

Raj,
beautiful sentiments
expressed elegantly
kutty

aji choro mera bajoo
jaanay do mujhay ghar
mera baap dekh lega
kutaee kar dega maar maar

***
ari Indu kyon ghabrati ho
main mohabbat tumain karta hoon
teray bapu ko keh doonga
mujhay tum se hai pyaar

Raj 
luvly poem. 

Lil Pam:
 You say

poets always exaggerate the feelings, emotions and sentiments, more so in the case of 'love'   (just as you have written 'love is never enough') hehe...



Just a few ideas about exaggeration. It must be within limits, isn't it? There must be a certain logic to it. 
If the exaggeration gets out of hand, then  we end up with a bad poem, with weak sentimentalism and meoldrama...
 

Hi Lil Pad - you have such an eye for details and that's great for that's all part of the creative mind, whether poet or artist. 

* Why do I say loveless poets/hapless poets?
The poem, beside being about love, is also a game between me and Sekhar.

Two secrets of a youthful mind, Lil Pam, is to be able to laugh at oneself and to play.

This poem is laughing at myself and also a game between me and Sekhar.

First, it is a reply to Sekhar's idea that Love is never enough - and what a wonderful game it is, to be able to find another painting by Ravi Varma, to be able to write a credible poem on the theme suggested by Sekhar - and to find a picture where the male looks a bit like Sekhar! (well, of what I've seen of Sekhar in his pictures at Sulekha!). It's a game where I throw poor Sekahr into his own idea! 

It's also a game where I make fun of myself, where I laugh  at myself.
So Sekhar, in this imaginary situation and  in wooing Indu, hits out at the idea that love is enough by saying that such things are only said by loveless poets (poor me!) and hapless poets (poor me!). See the game!? 
It's fun. 

If, as you say,  I've exaggeratted  the feelings, emotions and sentiments, more so in the case of 'love'   (just as you have written 'love is never enough') hehe... - then, the game continues.  It means that just as I made fun of my sentiments, perhaps I've made fun of Sekhar's sentiments in his comment to my other poem. See the game? 
It only seems complicated and elaborate because we are analysing it.


P.S.
I sent a copy of  the poem to Sekhar and got his permission to publish. I've never met him and know him only at Sulekha but he's become like a brother to me as he's always been so marvelous as a person. He is also a master of the short poem, having modelled himself on his favorite Telegu poet Sri Sri. I think all you have to do is mention Sri Sri, and Segar'll do anything you ask!   

This poem came as a spontaneous reply to Sekhar's comment.
