Hello Indrani, This is an interesting and clever form for your poem. May I ask what your intention was by choosing this form? The shape of each stanza is so consistent The fourth line of the first stanza I keep wanting to read "Ethereal Thinker" Please also excuse my ignorance but what is Savitri? I think I have just seen "Inspiration" Moya

Indrani Ananda The form of inverted pyramids was 'just the way it turned out in the end', but the idea was to start each verse with a theme and condense it on each progressive line until a single word is left to convey the pure form of Savitri. The fourth line of the first stanza is the word Entheal - it means 'Divinely Inspired', as Savitri is Sanskrit for Inspiration. Thank you for your appreciation. Indrani.

Hello Indrani, I had a moment of inspiration yesterday when it suddenly hit me that the stanzas were upside down pyramid shapes. Thank you for explaining Entheal and also Savitri. I hate not understanding things and now you tell me the reason for the shape I can see you were right with your title and with your use of 'entheal'. The work is divinely inspired. I loved it before but even more so now. MOya

Indrani Ananda Thank you Moya. I often try to experiment with word patterns, but problems soon occur when done on computers. I've not mastered this 'cut & paste' stuff yet. Indrani.
