Inferno

Expectations..
always begin
as a little spark
ready to flare
in a wildfire …

patience ..
a stream of
heavenly waters
to keep this
inferno in check….

What you mean is “Dreams” not Expectations !

If you have a dream inside your heart
Don’t ever let it go
For dreams are the tiny seeds
From which all tomorrows grow !

And elaborating further…”Its always dreams on fire, not expectations on fire”…. dear lady

Dear Ravinder Ji…I appreciate your comments -first ever comments to my first post here on this site .

And what a beautiful four liner you have written about the dreams and how true !

As far as what I wrote , I actually meant ‘Expectations’ and not dreams ..Dreams we can’t check by having patience ..expectations we can . it is our expectations that we really need to keep in check that start as a tiny seed of desire and rage into wildfires.. if not checked cause bitterness in our life … hope i make sense ..

Regards and Thanks for your feedback..

I think the word expectation is a perfect fit. And beautiful 4-liner by ravindra ji.

welcome to p4poetry. I hope you enjoy your stay here…and stay :)

Good one ,Deepti….and continue writing what you feel,not following what has been earlier said

The photograph read with lines written following it, in my opinion is a magnificient piece of poetic art. congratulations for posting this gem

Dear Deepti, While I do not contest the emotion in your piece and the co-relation with the artwork, I have merely pointed out a usage error. “Dreams are the sparks, expectation is the wind that fans the sparks and hope is the vehicle that helps spread it ( not flare!) as a wildfire”

Do continue writing. The willingness to correct or not to correct is your choice.

This poem and the accompanying photograph is like a statement suspended in the air and one that makes complete sense!

Well done!

and welcome to p4poetry.com :D

Viskas Ji, Renu Ji , Preeti Ji and Vishvnand Ji .. Thanks so much for the beautiful welcome and your words of motivation..

Ravinder Ji..Please feel free to provide feedback anytime ..I am amateur where poetry comes and really appreciate any feedback ..

being over ambitious or expecting too much from yourself can hurt yes….. there has to exist a balance between what you want and what you can get……. what you want to be and what you ‘can’ be….. but then again….. dreams are the first steps of accomplishments…

Apporv ..i agree with u..th for your feedback..

I totally agree with the thought Dipti for it is expectation that can take you to the gallows and patience — the ultimate saviour- anywhere, anytime.

lovely and meaningful,both the piece and photograph.
