Think it must be twilight zone, friend. And while I was doing this post, I was thinking about you. A great many thanks. Now I must read yours.

Once again you draw us in to a chaotic battle of words that become clear and more than meaningful because of your attention to every detail!!! What's kind of freaky is the fact that I posted a poem similar to this one right before I read your analysis!!! Twilight zone or what???

Great job abanerjee. As usual this is something that I am reading and learning through you so I think I have to look it up since you have given me a summation and an enlightening one at that.

...deep and rich...the subject (war, etc.) attempts to coax a comment from me...as does your exchange with kabu...particularly liked your comment "they concern themselves more with the container than the content" which likewise entreats me to comment...but...life is far more pleasant if i avoid controversy...so i will just say 'well done...well done'...moon

Re: Kabu ...A wonderful piece of writing. Most interesting and informative.
I was deeply touched by your observation "It was a mother's son a father's hope a lovers dream", and yes, the price one has to pay! I'll definitely pay heed to your timely warning, that is, wherever there is a need and is not distracting. I find too many links a bit too distracting. The ones I write are generally not to be found in the internet as I base them more on British Notes, like the Methuen Series mainly, among others. My heartfelt thanks, ma'am. But the 'pickies', as you know, are hard to please; they concern themselves more with the container than the content.

Re: sam444
That a poet of your standing should find it 'wonderful' is to be greatly motivating an encouragement. You invariably work up the ambiance of the subject matter in the setting up of your poems. Why don't you post "ferry boatman" again? I think it'll be wonderful. many thanks, ma'am.

Re: Darson ...THIS is some deep stuff. Thanks for sharing it.
I am glad that you found the meanings rich. That you had to read each line twice shows your interest and delving deep into a subject, but since I have to compress, I too have to think to ink. Clarity and brevity are the two qualities, but if brevity dislodges clarity I think I'll have to elaborate a bit more. Clarity is more important. Well, thank you so very much Darson, for an equally rich comment.

Re: Awful Future
Top of the Stairs, BC-A, that is one good observation, Orwell, Owens ... the British Os. Think he was born in India, and served as a police superintendent at Burma. On Shooting an Elephant, and his criticism of the Brirish Imperialism, Englishmen's superiorioty complex, are great works of his (unlike Rupert Brooke's idolizations of English patriotism). Thanks BC-A.

Awful Future
Similarly to the prophetic state authority of George Orwell in 1984 we’ve already lost freedoms in the Middle East military escalation. I see the word mandatory in government programs more often. In a like manner the totalitarian state’s as likely as the corporate under the circumstances. Let me mention Owens. Watch those brilliant Os love.! BC-A, Top of the Stairs

Excellent Abanerjee ~ some meaty choices here. Poetry of the finest...and I liked the verses such as: Courage was mine, and I had mystery; Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery; --- his skill was so simply: to aspire to attain ~ Of course, the content is so heartrending to me as very passionate, that it rocks my rose-colored glasses right off my face. Write on, Abanerjee, as you help your readers reflect. Elyse

Wonderful essay! I do like setting up a poem so that it gives the ambiance of the subject matter! I did that with a poem about a ferry boatman! It is tough to do and requires a lot of thought but once it is on paper it seems as though it was effortless! sam

A wonderful piece of writing. Most interesting and informative.
All those young lives, the promise of youth, the future of the country(from whichever side) cut down in their prime. Lost opportunity;and then to meet the dead..perhaps someone killed by you.Iy was a mother's son a father's hope a lovers dream.
Just one small warning my friend. Always include your research source. Some bloggers are really picky about that.
