I am Meena.I am into business
Writing is my passion.
I started writing very late after my children grew up.
I am basically a post graduate in English literature and passed with honours.
I got married at the age of 19 and from then on was into the family and business.
The urge to write was suppressed and when it could no longer be controlled it broke off one fine day that is on July 2008.
I found my canvas in wordpress.com and started with writing articles on business and topical issues.
One fine morning, I entered into the poetic world and I was caught by the fancy and there was no turning back.
I
had written thousands of poems. They are spontaneous and I do not
restrain myself to one subject but fly everywhere I seem to catch up.
2.
I live in India and in Malaysia. Malaysia is my second home and I
shuttle between these two countries on and off, having been here for
six months and there for six months, not particularly specific about
the months or the continuously too.
As stated before I am into business.
3.
I enjoy being in the community. I read the poems of other poets and
feel mine is not so good as theirs. Most of the poems, I find are
beautiful with imagery and rhymes flowing through. Certain poems are
music to me. When I read them I feel happy and like to go on.The
comments I get from the fellow poets are really encouraging and they
induce me to write more. Well, again I have to say, my poems are from
the heart, and they reveal the subtle feelings which escape many a
writer. They reflect my culture and me at the most.

I have been blogging for the past six and a half years. iThis platform
or site, whatever you might call, is mine, mine alone where I see no
trespassers, no intruders.where I revel and relax.
I
post my poems the minute I complete them. I do not have the patience
and I want to see them published at once. I then rush to the Stats page
to find how many of viewed it. I know it is extremely childish, but I
cannot help it.
After a day or two, I go through them and correct the minor mistakes, mostly the punctuations where I am very weak.
The
periods do elude me while I write and unmindful I post them. My writing
being mainly poetry does enjoy the poetic justice and license.
Being
part of the Poetry community, I feel I am close to the art and
experience a relatively enthusiastic kinship among other poets. I do not
communicate with them, but reading gives me a satisfaction and a
nearness with my fellow poets. I am not alone in this world penning
poems there are others who do and who contribute better poems than me.
5. I write poetry and short articles Fiction, I have not tried.
^. The blogs I mostly read are
Chester maynes .wordpress.com

7. Music and poem are related so closely.
Each one seamlessly merge into the other. The rhymes and the words
along with the intonations go to make poetry a music. that enthralls the
listener. I feel they are twins, inseparable twins.

The issue that is close to my heart is poverty. many a child goes
without proper food in the underdeveloped countries. They have no
shelter and sleep on pavements, be it rain or sun. Then comes the
education. Many small children are denied the basics and forced to slog
under unimaginable circumstances. The face of each of these children
with tears wrenches my heart and I am deeply pained.
9.
Music is my best companion. I forget myself when I hear the songs sung
by my favorite musicians. In fact, I learnt music till I was nineteen,
played on the Veena, a stringed instrument. My mother taught me veena.
She was a remarkable instrumentalist. I also got trained in
Bharatanatyam. I had given recitals in my town during my schooldays.
Poetry is akin to music and my early training in music and dance now
helps in writing poetry. I do not have pets.

them. MY creativity has given birth to thousands of poems, each one is
my best It is for you to choose.I leave it to your choice and
discretion.If you select one or two ,please make known to others and do
