Fear

Don't know what I am more
terrified of. Getting my heart
broken again or never letting
my heart
get broken again.

Hi,

I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘Return of the clavicle’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;

BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!

This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)

Cheers,
Ray

I absolutely adore the crispness of your poems. You manage to convey a lot in very few words. Moreover, you manage to achieve that feat without compromising on the poetics.
I am not sure whether you are aware of this, but, "Fear" has a beautiful meter in the first three lines. The last two lines, albeit retaining the meaning completely, breaks this meter. May I suggest you change the format to:

"my heart get broken
again."

This way, you retain the message, the meter AND you gain the extra impact of that singular word on the last line: "again".

Hey ritwik, thank you so much. Haven't written in a long while so a bit rusty. Your meter comment makes so much sense. Thanks!!
