of the tiny dust particle as it embodies the basic building block of creation the living and the non living the mystic of art and literature delightfully reveals the kaleidoscope of science through colorful flair of human aspiration it amalgamates the spiritual romanticism transcendentalism and intellectual cadence of human beings in the perennial journey along the corridor of nature s panorama of blissful beauty the tiniest object of nature has its genuine worth in this world and it is associated with us in different forms perhaps it is the discovery of this truth that has given rise to the genesis of haiku poem haiku imparts life to every object in the form of a vivid image essentially the genre of expression acts as a diligent medium of exploration of the beauty of 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 building a planet of nature s paradise and abode of peace and brotherhood the art of poetry glimmers the symphony of love and peace and epitomizes the culture through ages the philosophy of poetry keeps on flowing like ripples of rhythm through time and space it muses with the innocence of the animals songs of the birds swinging branches of the trees braided rhythm of a waterfall shifting shadows of mountains breezing touch of the dunes of desert and silence of the azure sky science is the composite reflection and poetry is its genetic soul let us put poetry to thrive in time and anti time in matter and antimatter let it blossom the aesthetic sublimity of human life blissful endurance and creative opulence like a flower it sprinkles the hidden fragrance to fulfill the purpose of fostering peace and fraternity with the art of expression perfection and purity life is a poem music its journey he humbly expresses i am a tiny bird dwelling in my nest and singing songs for others and to the surroundings the beautiful nature the mysterious celestial dance tiny grass to gigantic tree the spectrum of a living organism the silence of the desert loneliness of parting vastness of the sky the softness of snow the burden of grief and sufferings tender smiles of the kids glorious womanhood etc influence my poetry i feel i am not a poet i am a medium to transcreate the treasure of the grains of sand and silence of the shells posted by p k padhy at 3

between the lines of poetry essentially this creates a different impact evoking ecstasy and divine joy poetry inspires to unveil the profound spiritual wealth of the tiny dust particle which embodies the basic building block of creation the living and the non living the mystic of art and literature delightfully reveals the kaleidoscope of science through the colorful flair of human aspiration it amalgamates the spiritual romanticism transcendentalism and intellectual cadence of human beings in the perennial journey along the corridor of nature s panorama of blissful beauty the passion for me to practice poetry i feel can be well expressed by the following stanza i choose poetry the power of femininity it mingles with the gentle flow of a river the vastness of the sky and sea radiates the warmth of the morning sun calmness of the moon and enlightens the joy of life the resonance of the sound of silence what is the essence of your poetry when i notice a specific object a flurry of poetic thoughts rushes into my mind prompting me to connect it with the human aspect i love to write shorter versions including the japanese forms of short poetry with time i tried to be patient calm and less didactic i love to use suitable words figures of speech and internal rhyme and end rhyme to create musicality the poetic form theme and use of word phrases are equally important for the reader to appreciate as the great poet robert frost said poetry is when our emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words my poetry largely dwells on the essence of human experience nature and logical credence i used to write on philosophical aspects human sufferings nature society and contemporary life the expression unfolds the subtle irony and satire of social anguish my poetry is infused with a sense of humanism and connects to the abundance of nature below the poverty line rough layers of time thicken his body and mind no matter how many times you measure the distance between him and his dream it remains unchanged as between the earth and the sky to strike the nails they search and find a place nowhere other than on his head to hang 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

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
