Text of the page (random words):
ang the price list of sufferings publication credit the third eye anthology 1991 p 133 i have eight collections of poetry including haiku and tanka and have been widely reviewed the poem how beautiful published way back on 9 th july 1983 in one of the leading english newspapers the indian express has been included in the undergraduate university curriculum prof g d ingale comments p k padhy s poetry is experimental and known for simplicity of expression and its presentation romantic expression is another characteristic of his poetry in the poem how beautiful in addition to these features his inclination towards spiritual and metaphysical dimensions of life could also be seen the poem presents the poet s idea of a perfect world how beautiful if birds could talk trees could walk with us flowers could express their cause of smile spring could speak its desire and meaning of songs to the rocks waves could stop for a while so that we could have some words with them silence could spell out its aim of being a saint past could return and open its petals afresh graveyard could wake up after the sunrise and chat with us the collection songs of love a celebration published in 2012 endures the entwined journey of immaculate romantic imagination of a man and his peaceful family life prof d ganasekaran pondichery university opines p k padhy unveils the curtain of your dream followed by the silence you surrender on seabed near the shore under the roaring tide padhy is highly sensuous his songs of love is a modern endymion silently i sink myself below your neckline you surrender as sea bed near the shore under the roaring tides passionately we search each other closing our eyes excerpt from the songs of love a celebration p 10 prof bam dev sharma remarks to some extent i find some poetic complicity between william blake s songs of innocence and songs of experience padhy s songs of love reflect deep human psyche humanistic fervor the universal paradigm and the thread that connects something innate and external realities artfully i repose on the high seas of your beauty the warmth of my inner sun swims with your passionate waves excerpt from the songs of love a celebration p 11 he adds to be precise padhy s love is transcendental it is the spirit of humanity it tries to create bond fidelity truism we never find his love dissolving into the poetic lines alone but it creates some kind of rejuvenation with awakened consciousness i go back to the pages of time and read the poetry again i plunge to think how time shapes our mind with beauty and bliss it is more to a divine journey indeed long time ago john keats sings the beauty padhy too sings love as beauty which is hidden magnum of human life his love is not fragmentary but complete unison where human flaw and precision are put together it seems to me that padhy wants to glorify his feelings towards love he wants love as something which is the sole matter that signifies human existence prof ananda lal sent me an e mail with gratification with a note padhy s poems have a thematic sensitivity and an eye and ear for imagery and i felt a flow of mystical feeling freshness blending romanticism and the aesthetic beauty of creation it is sort of autobiographical expression the collection endures the journey of a man and his peaceful family life culminating with an optimistic flavour of philosophical attainment indeed shakespeare said in black ink my love may still shine bright the warmth rejoice of the sacred celebration carries the nostalgic memories and reaches out to the sun of a new bright light in the open ecstasy quaintness sky on the cosmic path we continue to walk with the evolutionary smile excerpt from the songs of love a celebration p 45 carl sandburg says poetry is a projection across silence of cadences arranged to break that silence with definite intentions of echoes syllables wave lengths i aim to maintain the rhythmic beauty and subtle flow of free verse through musical phrases and the artistry of word arrangement critic and poet pck prem remarks on the collection the speaking stone published in 2020 undoubtedly he moves from the inner world to the world outside of stark realism and fanatical certainty where social economic and political issues assail and make living difficult however if empathetic sharing at the cosmic level becomes a truth journey of life would be easier that will not have obsessive you and i and it will lead humanity to celebrate jointly the great reward of our mirthful smile synthesizing symphony of the sweet language with play of gravity and the rhythm of force and speed the speaking stone is inimitably unusual in treatment and it makes a departure from what he speaks in earlier poetry he is thoughtful and genuinely tries to indulge in a dialogue with life and existence all alone without apparent hangover of religious or philosophic moorings though related thoughts stay in the background to offer strong prop to the poet in padhy at this stage one is prone to say that he keeps a faint quality of literary correctness in outlook and reminds obliquely of judith butler for rejuvenating oneness and humanism i pen the concluding stanza let the new man on this earth smile and make others smile unfurling the planet flag and reciting the anthem of unity let us live like human and human alone with the warmth of joy of living excerpt from the speaking stone xlii p 58 the tiny pebbles 2011 is essentially a collection of micropoems ryan kelly editor the houston review in his foreword enumerates what is most remarkable about p k padhy s poetry is his ability to express so much by saying so little the tiny pebbles exhibits his aphoristic style in which he succinctly captures both the beauty and grace of everyday life and the socioeconomic injustices suffered by the oppressed and underprivileged padhy is a reporter or recorder who paints the landscape of suffering as he sees it and takes snapshots for a scrapbook of the human condition each poem is an open ended and stand alone strain of padhy himself allowing for a wide variety of reactions from readers daring enough to face an examination of their conscience could you describe your journey with the japanese short form of poetry i used to feel a spark inside when i saw something ordinary which created a different symbolic frame in my mind poems come to my mind like a fragrance to a flower as an intermediate college student i submitted some of my poems in odia and one day to my surprise the editor posted them in the hostel wall magazine i n 1980 i wrote an article for one of the leading literary odia journals manas titled ezra pound ebon tankara kabita ezra pound and his poems in this article i interpreted haiku like short poems such as the encounter the tea shop alba ite and others the following a short verse sequence satyameba truth alone was published in the quarterly literary odia journal deepti vol

it enunciates a contemplation of spiritualism and the realization of being a part of nature the philosophy of haiku embodies this emotional relationship between human beings and the surrounding environment in its dynamic state the poet simply sows the seeds of the imagery allowing the readers to harvest its musicality and aesthetic values a haiku brings life to every object by creating a vivid image essentially the genre serves as a diligent medium of exploration of beauty of the wide spectrum of living and non living entities the tiny seed of haiku sprouts into a beautiful tree of wisdom the doctrine of haikuism will usher in a planet of nature s paradise and the abode of peace and brotherhood it invites you to explore nature the unity of creation and cosmic consciousness within its minimalistic poetic landscape in the late seventies and eighties i wrote many short poems consisting of three to six lines as well as longer versions of poetry looking back i feel that some of my earlier short poems in fact were tanka like as patches of cloud memory sails around when i wish to see those become tears in my eyes memory poet vol 27 no 12 1986 ed krishna srinivas though i

elaborate on the new genres like hainka and braided haiku that you recently introduced i made a modest attempt to showcase experiments with the poetic spirit intertwining images with various genres through the art of link and shift to create a different poetic rhythm and resonance hainka is a poetic fusion of haiku and tanka hai ku ta nka and is characterised by image linking where the fragment
