A little girl while walking in a moving train
raised her hand towards an unknown lady
not that she was hopeful of getting the support
but was sure she would get it.

there is a logic issue, though poem is beyond logics...

beautiful. somehow, this is the kind of poems i like. simple, three-dimensional. a moment coming alive. i can see the innocent confidence of the child through your words.

Thank you so much Venuji.
I was so amused to see that feeling of trust in that girl's eyes. You are right, those were just moments and I wondered had it been me or any other person we would have thought of ten times before relying on some unknown person. We often create such distances ourselves.

keep up the good work. i think now you are beginning to see. my own concept about poetry is that it is in the real, not the imagined. poem is the real revealed, a revelation given the word. when you imagine and sentimentalise, it is dead illusion. how can there be poetry in the dead?
