Moment Of The Moments Poem by Putholi Arumugham T

Moment Of The Moments

Rating: 5.0


The warmth in the first handshake in my school from
that beautiful blue-eyed girl of my dreams.

A chilled breeze on my ever depressed face
during the bike ride with a friend, so close.

A dimlight and a moon for company
during a late night smoke, so lonely.

A fast beat rap for a off-stage dance
on a college day eve, fully drunk with friends.

A gentle drizzle to wash away tiredness with its shower
during a friendly weekend soccer.

Ilayarajas* flute to bring out silent cascade of tears
bringing back those memories of happier yesteryears.

The first cry of the new member in our ration
elevating me to a higher relation.

All these ecstatic moments fly out as butterflies
as you gently bless me this first kiss.



* a legendary tamil musician.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Putholi, I disagree with Prachi. This poem is in a simpler form than some of your others, but these moments you describe are the simple pleasures that have really touched you. This style can work better sometimes than a heavier poem, and I find these moments delightful. 'A drizzle to wash away tiredness' may not be appreciated by another person, but you do, and this is why the poem is special. 'The flute to bring out tears' is another example. Music can melt our souls and a sensitive poet as yourself treasures such moments. The last two lines are simply adorable and so is the poem. 10 Karin Anderson

Not as great as your previous works...... you are good with words, you know how to make a poem a complete bliss, but a casual writer you are not...simple illustration of words is not your forte' avoid it. Any given day I would rate your romantic poems higher than any of your style! I was expecting a better end Aparna
