I am Vishalakshi, a software engineer and poet in India. I read Tagore's and other old poets' poetry for pleasure and the urge to write sprung forth from my reading experience. I still remember writing my first poem and showing it to my friends. They encouraged me to send it to International Library of Poetry and it was published in an international anthology. Also, it got me published in the anthology “Best poems and poets of 2003”. Not only that, I was nominated for the award of “Poet of the year 2003” by International Society of poets. I kept on writing after that whenever inspiration struck me. This year, I am nominated for inclusion in “International Who's Who in Poetry” which is a publication of International Society of Poets. I hope to be selected in that with all your best wishes. I would like to make friendship with all my readers. So, please feel free to send me email. My email address is vpidaparthi_poet@yahoo.com
