In the process of backing up various online email accounts to disk, several old emails/forwards with poetry content have been discovered, and are now presented without comment.
Prandial Plaint
- Vikram Seth
My love, I love your breasts. I love your nose.
I love your accent and I love your toes.
I am your slave. One word and I obey.
But please don't slurp your coffee in that way.
(from 'All You Who Sleep Tonight')
Seth has featured in these pages before, and the excellent but sadly inactive Wondering Minstrels have a whole bunch of his stuff.

Would love to read more from the Minstrels... I am still sad that they no longer operate :(.
'Sadly' of course being the key word...
Why not you try poking it back to life?
Believe me, I too am sad about it...
Have I said before I think Seth is only occasionally a good poet? So much doggerel...
Hah. This was the first book of poetry I bought with my own money. Gosh it was so expensive. All of Rs. 100! Just sharing. Not that its important.
