AW: First the Lightening! New and Improved?

[Guest guest]

Dear Harsha,

thanks to the unseen hands of karma (aka. Gloria - thanks, Gloria!),

the first version of your poem is back in circulation now. I like it

best, and there is nothing you can do about it! :-)

As for my native tongue, you wouldn't ask this question if you heard

me speak English. My American friends usually say that I sound like

Dr. Kissinger. I would love to speak with a nice Californian accent,

but for some reason my tongue decrees otherwise.

Well, what you can't cure you must endure. Take care,

Michael

Dear Mike,

Thanks for your kind note. I will revise this one too. I think a word

here and there needs to be taken out.

I will look for the old version that I posted a while back.

You write extremely well. Is English your native tongue?

Dear Harsha,

would you mind reposting the first version of your poem? I remember I

liked it a lot, and cannot find it now. Thank you!

All the best,

Michael

First the Lightening

First the Lightening!

then the lightning,

and follows the OM of thunder.

Shattered, scattered

who can put together

the pieces of space.

No point in trying

and asking why

all the atoms are dancing

as if they hear nothing

but love songs.
