poet/ lyricist
more on him here
I was keen to read more of his work but in a physical book form (not e-version).
I came across an old one and it has been a brilliant read till date.
A flower poem
Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust.
I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by.
Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time.

The crown of literature is poetry.
~ Matthew Arnold
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
~Aristotle
Poetry is itself a thing of God;
He made his prophets poets; and the more
We feel of poesie do we become
Like God in love and power,—under-makers.
~ Philip James Bailey
“Poetry can be dangerous, especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it.”
― Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

Rid dles :)
Today's topic reminded me of a old hindi song, "nadi kinare gaun re, bhooj mera kya naam re"
So, inspired, here are two riddles, both translated from kannada :)
Riddle 1:
Mother is prickly, the daughter is bald & the grand daughter is smooth!
What is it?
Riddle 2:
There are three friends, when you put them in water, one floats, one sinks & the third dissolves. Who are they?

Riddle -Kolam
Some Kolams are like riddles I feel. They look elegant but people making it must really know which turn to take. This could be like a puzzle maze game for kids to create with ropes or something. Sorry for the quickie post.
Tom Riddle creator
An attempt to sketch J K Rowling, who is a British novelist,
best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series.
Tom Marvolo Riddle is a fictional character from the said series,
later came to be known as Lord Voldemort which is an anagram.
He was also called "You-Know-Who" or "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named".
A half-blood wizard, he was considered to be
the most powerful Dark Wizard of all time.
The series make a fascinating read everytime.

Every human life involves an unfathomable mystery, for man is the riddle of the universe, and the riddle of man in his endowment with personal capacities.
~ Harry Emerson Fosdick
A writer is someone who can make a riddle out of an answer.

I was raised in a family where no one had a serious bone in their body and every answer was a riddle, a joke, or a prank.
