let’s talk about stories untold
that no one has painted upon
with love, hate or uncalled scorn
through facts, let the plot unfold
let’s talk about stories untold
a devotee sings virtues in the morn
about things that are not the norm
yet falls into predictable moulds
let’s talk about stories untold
a character – misunderstood, torn
wants to be rewritten and reborn
but the writer receives a trophy of gold
let’s talk about stories untold
a bouquet of truth holds a thorn
they reinvent to blow their horn
success is bold; books are sold
let’s talk about stories untold

‘Let’s talk about untold stories.’ I love the concept behind your Ballata, Reena. Each stanza is unique.

One of these days, the stories will be told. Love this part: a bouquet of truth holds a thorn.

I love the idea of a character ‘misunderstood, torn’ who ‘wants to be rewritten and reborn’, Reena. I want to know more about them.

Oh, I love this poem Reena. It’s quite different to tonight’s poetic herd, it makes an excellent point very well and it’s a great example of the form. Well done!
