Humanitarian

#1 Post by meenas17 » 07 Jul 2017, 08:47

Years ago, is it not?
I retrospect.

Travel reverse.
Recall the events of my wedding.

It is a three-day affair
crowded with entertainment.

The customary rituals
share the prominence.

I, from the point of concentration,
watch the sequence in awe.

In the midst of the activities,
the dad shows an immaculate cordiality.

The mother expresses poise.
Her exhaustion is apparent.

Both stand on the porch,
greet people with a namaste

The guests enjoy the delicacies.
Rejoice the hospitality.

I find excitement in all,
driven by enthusiasm.

The ensemble disperses in spirit
Thoughts flood with pleasant memories.

Humanitarianism depends on a view that every single person merit regard and respect and should be dealt with in that capacity. Therefore, humanitarians work towards advancing the well-being of Assignment Help UK humanity all in all. It is the absolute opposite of the "us versus them" attitude that characterizes tribalism and ethnic nationalism.

Siva,

An analysis of the poem line by line.
Interesting insights. The start itself is impressive.
Humanitarian-- Boring Title.
Travel reverse a distorted phrase.
Should it be travel back?

Of course, the articles, definite articles are too many and should be avoided.
Noted.
The cliche and the overtellinng have to be pruned.
I will take care.

Thanks, Siva for the critique.
Wonderful job!.

Meena.
