That my first ever written poem...a stepping stone to start NOSTALGIA The early morning prayer and the breakfast on the table. Picking up the backpack with school-bag as the label. It all starts with the classwork and ends with the homework. Play, punishment, detention all in a day's work. The school bell rings and we all start yelling. Pouncing on every tiffin coming from different dwellings. Having secret crush on mates. Forming our own group & associates. Breaking every rule making even the mentor look a fool. The playing in the monsoon and the making of paper boat. Fighting for every single mark in all the exams we wrote. We were all the same with no bada no chota. Never knew about the terms called 'reservation' & 'quota'. And the good ol' vacation time singing every known rhyme. Who cares about the lunch & dinner when i'm the today's match winner It will never be the same playing every game. Enjoying every season even the cold november rain O God! could i be a child again... mahendra who else
A nice write...overall it was good..I did feel that you rushed in on the ideas though.. "The playing in the monsoon and the making of paper boat. Fighting for every single mark in all the exams we wrote." You see you've placed to completely unrelated ideas here..I found the paper boat part unnecessary b'coz that gives you an image of your early childhood..I don't think I ever made 'em after 2nd and we never fought for marks at that age..Anyways this is just my opinion,its not that its wrong.. As I said overall its good... We were all the same with no bada no chota. Never knew about the terms called 'reservation' & 'quota'. Though there's some "Hinglish" there,those lines are good...:dance:
hey...thank u i had lots of ideas for this one....wantd to cover every aspect of growing yrs ok..making paper boat...and fighting for marks cover diff. age grps [wat, i thot we fought for marks rite frm childhood ] but i used this para for a transition...as the nxt para speaks abt reservation stuff...and later playing matches stuff.....else the poem wud hav been more lenthy srry for those hinglish part..but the para ws going so apt dat i just cant replace it. neways a big thank u... i read some of ur poems ...they were excellent...so feels nice to get my 1st comment from u .. [PS. cud some1 tell how this reps system work...i'm a newbie yaar]
I guess yes,this poem shouldn't be chronologically analysed..it is a brainstorm of memories..I would've just preferrred it to be a bit chronological.. Its your first poem..so its really a good start..and btw,you've ended the poem well.. Anyways.. Please don't apologize for the hinglish part or any thing for that matter..its your poem and it expresses you...and the hinglish was effectively used btw To give reps click on the star icon below the user name..
must say dat was one good attempt man... hope u keep riting and keep posting ur poems here... enjoyed reading it! keep it up...
i'm_not_neo: actually i did tried for a chronology, but not of age..but of time(of the yr), as it starts with school, then monsoon, follwd by exams and finally vacation....but as i didnt do it precisely it went unnoticed. #iR@: hey thanks, yep i'll start posting in here, u too hav written a poem on same theme...fortunately we both had a diff take liked this forum..ppl here are honest with there comments
