MY POEM REVIEWED BY EMINENT REVIEWER RAJ KISHORE PATNAIK.

HUMBLED AND HONOURED.

LOST WORDS !

My eyes do tell an untold tale

A bit nostalgic, fading memories

That used to flow in small streams

No matter whether one listens or not

She used to talk ,things familiar to me

Like writing passages and reciting lines

It ended as my tears stopped rolling

A better time would dawn in my life

The lost words would reverberate

Again in my untamed lips sometime.

Congratulations to Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai on crafting a poignant poem, “Lost Words,” which masterfully unveils the depths of personal experience and emotion. Dr. Dalai’s verses weave a tapestry of nostalgia, fading memories, and the ache of untold tales seen through the eyes. The metaphorical use of tears as small streams emphasizes the profound and inconsolable nature of the sorrows embedded in the poet’s past.

Professor Nirakar Dash’s insightful review elevates the poem’s significance, shedding light on its individualistic essence. The abrupt beginning with “my eyes do tell an untold tale” sets the tone for a deeply personal narrative that may resonate powerfully with those who have shared similar experiences. Professor Dash astutely observes the singularity of this tale, emphasizing that not everyone can decipher its nuances unless they’ve sailed in the same emotional boat.

The portrayal of the lady-love, narrating events indifferent to others’ nonchalant attitude, adds layers of complexity to the poem. The melancholic undertones are palpable in lines like “like writing passages and reciting lines/it ended as my tears stopped rolling.” Professor Dash adeptly highlights the sadistic elements in the lady-love’s personality, providing a nuanced analysis that enhances the reader’s understanding.

Moreover, the reviewer commends the poet’s resilience by acknowledging the hope embedded in the last three lines of the poem. Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai’s ability to convey a sense of optimism amid the shadows of the past is lauded, offering a glimmer of anticipation for a brighter future.

In conclusion, both Dr. Prasana Kumar Dalai and Professor Nirakar Dash deserve hearty congratulations. The poem’s emotional depth, coupled with the insightful review, creates a harmonious symphony of literary expression and critique. May this collaboration continue to enrich the world of English literature with its profound resonance and thoughtful analysis.
