Like this one! you have captured the true nature of poetry writing - it's clear and succinct - I don't think anyone will disagree!

Syllable count looks good and a pleasure to read. :)

What do you think of replacing 'their' with 'but', and 'a' with 'to'...?
Just a suggestion

(Rudyard Kipling)

Thanks for the read. Actually I had contemplated on lines suggested by you and have now replaced "their" with but and "a" with "their". Does "their" communicate the expected meaning ?

For me 'to' seems to say more
I cant explain why - it may be just the way I see it, but it changes the meaning very subtly

Read it a few times over, trying out both 'their' and 'to', and see if you can see what I mean ...

I know what you mean. But I feel that in the absence of "their" somewhere, it would not connect "words" to "thought"...i hope you know what i mean.

you link poetry with vibrations only
what of words
all seek
the same dictionary
raj sublime _ u b

It not only broadens the comment, but it sounds better grammatically.
