Dear Ankur,
You're accusing me of the very thing of which you're guilty, guilty, guilty! If you recall, 'twas you who wrote the critique and laughed at the poet: "Freudian frogs, which hide during the day. Ha ha." It's one thing to offer criticism but quite another to be offensive and destructive. I dare say apprecation was far from the contents of your comments. That is what rankled me.
As for my comments in response to yours, well, simply because you have your experience of a well you're hardly qualified to impose that limited experience on others, yourself. That is why we have a dialogue and share experiences that expand our vistas and perceptions. Poets help us do that more elusively than writers of prose but when we get what they're saying, including any ambiguities, we experience their joy of creation, if even vicariously.
Regards,
Mani

Sorry Mr. Mani, but you are being too very
opinionated. Appreciating the poem is one thing and
flattering is another. And expecting everyone to feel
the way you do is something else altogether. There is
nothing about the a stone being dropped into the well,
and so I didnt hear anything. Its he who hears things
when there is nothing to hear who needs a check up. I
dont like vindictive criticism, its better if you do
not bring in your ego while commenting on poetry. We
are hear to share art, not to comment on each others
sensibility.
Ankur.
