Sir,

If you have read in my postings that I am either trying to make ground rules or
that I have implied that I am a sarva~jnya in this field, I apologise, for i
seem to have failed my own test for clarity.

If chandO poetry has so many champions, obviously it is reaching its intended
audience - I have no issue with that. As I said yesterday, one who writes chandO
poetry should ensure that his (or her) intended audience do not miss the
significance of any part of his (or her) message due to his (or her) eagerness
to show off his (or her) pAnDityam.
I was, however, not at all addressing traditional or chandO badha poetry when I
made my comments about spaShTata.
IMHO, because of the format and the maturity of the form, traditional poetry is
far less susceptible to misinterpretation than free verse. Therefore, my target
was the modern poets who tend to write to an increasingly smaller audience. nA
uddesamlO spaShTata kAvalsinadi aTuvanTi kavitvAniki.
Regards,
Uday
