Ode to Sivaramakrishnan Ananthanarayanan

Thanks for Encouraging Me to Keep Writing Poetry

Diane Zoller-Ciatto
Thanks to Siva
I'm writing this poem
To thank you for encouragement
Like the comforts of home!

Poetry has a way
Of speaking with your heart
A glimpse into one's soul
Gives emotions a jump start!

So to you my dear brother
Born far away of another mother
By writing we are forever entwined
In mutual admiration and love for one another!!!

    Wow. What a name to seek to pronounce. Surely there is great meaning here. That aside, wonderful tribute, Diane. You are a pretty good blessing yourself.

    Diane, what can I say except to bow my head in gratitude to you and others so generous in appreciation and encouragement! I am just a humble bean counter, working all my life for others, but with a passion for the written word and appreciation for noble deeds. I see His creation at work and His presence everywhere I look, especially in the eyes of the poor! Also, sad to see many lost in inanimate objects at the cost of basics of life that endured us all long! I put words to my thoughts to leave a better world, our bounden duty. Thanks again, Diane - siva
