A Tribute To My Readers

A writer is incomplete without the readers, so this is a short tribute to you all....

My dear readers,
I'm grateful to you all,
for being here...

Each time i write a poem,
i earnestly wait,
wait for your reviews,
because, they tell me the depth,
to which my poems are true..!

I never thought,
that I'd write,
but there's a story
a story, behind it,
full of insight,
that makes one smile.
which I'd like
to share with y'all
tonight...

When I was a kid
of twelfth grade,
it was the day, i think,
third or fourth of May,
I remember the day,
I remember the date,
it was the Moral Science
class on 5th of May,
My teacher told us
to write something,
on the topic, `When I'll bid Adieu`
While others wrote
one or two lines,
I was there
with four lines..!
she checked everyone's writing,
by her keen mind,
and intense understanding..
And when she came to me,
and read those four lines,
the situation, i feel was truly divine!

I  know not
what she saw in
those lines,
she came to me,
and urged me,
to complete that poem
By May nine...
the next day, i did it,
and later,
it got published in our
first school magazine,
for the first time..!

Everyone who read,
appreciated it a lot,
and encouraged me
to continue this
great work of mine,
In the coming time.

but all that happened,
was because of Her
my lovely teacher
that time,
who fell in love
with those four lines!

yes, my dear readers,
I'd really love to tell,
that,
if i write well today,
its entire credit goes to her.!!

Then i came here,
and wrote more poems,
and the result i think,
y'all have in front of you!


My dear readers,
i really cherish your presence,
in reading and reviewing my writings,
and i cordially thank you, and wish,
that, in future, you will be even
more supporting.


if i am a poem, you are my words.!
if i am a book, you are the pages.!
So, i request you, to always be
with me,
in this race of chaste,
as a book is empty, without pages,
and a poem, useless, without
words and phrases..!!

Yes I liked it Saumya. Your gurudakshina- I am glad to know your story to become a writer, a poet. Thank you to your teacher for her intensive support, her belief in your writing talent and your own efforts that you put in all your write-ups. Keep it up dear. Way to go girl!

indeed how important is an audience to read and learn from other's writes.

[CAPOLAVORO]

I love this. I really do. I appreciate that you take time to thank us all. We are all together in here. We will be more than just pages in a book like you and more than just words in your poem. We will surely be your guide to glory. ;)

Sincerely,
CAPOLAVORO

You remind me of a memory, when I was in class nine my teacher said that one should be interested in writing poems and the very next day I wrote and showed it to her. She really encouraged and appreciated me and also asked me to write it on a paper and paste it in the classroom. I could write so well because of a little motivation and my sufferings. This poem is something that I could connect with and I feel the same. Thank you for writing this... ☺
By the way, what were those four lines which you wrote on that topic? 😉

[Saumya]

Teachers can be sometimes the sweetest & most special chapter of our life😊 but sometimes they can be dangerous than a hurricane lol.You won't believe it, Najam, but the same teacher who inspired me this much, who initially hated me for being the most careless girl of her class 😀 (though, she liked my essays then) idk how u switched to writing a poem that day *smiles*
Your mentioning of the 9th class thing, reminded of this memory too 😊 Thankyou!
And woah, Najam! I'm so glad your writing journey was so very similar as mine😊I agree, we gotta have that strong, deep feeling, ready to eloquently expressed, and there we are, a writer/a poet😊

The four lines IE. (The first stanza) of this poem, are those first four lines, I ever wrote as poet, hardly aware that it could turn into a poem, even!😊

Since my childhood I enjoy writing make your own sentences and rhyming words, maybe that passion of mine had turned me into writing poetry. I am really happy that we share similar interests and stories... It was good to know about you. ☺

[Saumya]

Same here😊

nice one and i like that teacher. Can i read that poem you wrote that day?

pages can be ripped or torn off , words can be strike off.

i wish to be the letter "a" because it will be in all pages.

You are an awesome writer. i don't have words to express it. I didn't have a teacher like this to encourage me. i start writing but my first works were not good. I gradually improved. MY first poem i wrote to impress one girl- one of my friend, not girlfriend.

thanks for sharing this piece of magic.

[Saumya]

My teacher has indeed been a very special person of my life, and she'll always be *smiles* glad u like her!😊

I like your idea of being the letter 'a'😊

Aww....I'm very glad that you see me as an awesome writer! Comments like these seriously make me smile wider😊 Thanx Abraham 😊 dedication towards something/ someone, and a piece of writing for the same comes out well😊( I've personally experienced that) the more we practice, the better we become, all we need is never quit that curiousity to learn more and practice 😊

Mine was a random piece, I least thought could turn into a poem even 😀😊
