Parisab said:
Your words are elevated and supreme in this poem. I am moved by the poem’s all important message and am moving to every note of this beautiful and intimate family photo album. I even feel joy as if I am a part of it. It is an incredibly delicate task to witness and be a part of your story. Well done!

So much here to relate to Garth. Brings back memories of many days gone by. And yes, like a photo album it seems, turning the pages of our mind. Excellent penmanship here Garth. 😉👍

Absolutely love this. You perfectly capture something. All those images coming together. And love the sentiment. Just brilliant.

My comments on the poem \"Shooting stars” by Garth Rakumakoe
We are fascinated both by twinkling and shooting stars. Shooting stars last only moments within our sight (though they may last for a longer time) and then disappear. Twinkling stars remain visible for longer. “We yearn for constant stars” : naturally we yearn for stars that remain visible for a long time. “shooting ones
that take us with them” : we fear that shooting stars will take us with them when they disappear from sight. From humans’ natural wish to live for as long as possible, we wish to live long and we associate ourselves with twinkling stars that remain visible for long. Soman Ragavan. 5 February, 2024.

Regrets Of The Setting Sun
Parisab said:
Mistakes are temporary, so regret should only last until each sunset-love the connections of the sunset and whisky in the glass: and the sun running away hurriedly with his shoes untied… this poem brings me gratitude for your exquisite and wise words…

Pondering is a free luxury until it is not …Very thoughtful words! These days it is scarier to think deeply…

Azanian Death Of Poetry
Parisab said:
I am sure you did for novelty’s sake, insight, and talent! These are the new puppets (I mean poets) of the “kings’” courts… I also can see the historical context of those nations that build up idols only to bring them down!

A real tear-jerker. Very well written. Often, people choose a way out that they believe conveys their message, yet will never know that it leaves loved ones in despair as well.

I don’t know why this takes me to that moment for Whitney Houston! Huge voice but not necessarily heard in the noise of it all-Thank you for giving voice for all those who have felt voiceless at times…
