Thank You: Poem by Shiny Ajit
Sometimes
All you need to say –
Is “Thank you.”
You may have ….
Everything you Need.
Yet a little gift from someone,
Is never Excess.
All you need to say,
Is “Thank you.”
Love is showered …
Never a dearth of melodies.
Yet some new friends
Are good to you…
All you need to say,
Is “Thank you.”
In a world full of hustle and bustle,
Someone finds time for you,
To talk to you, to drop a message…
He may not mean anything to you.
But, all you need to say,
Is “Thank you.”
If someone is being kind and gentle,
Accept, Accept, Accept…
For it’s a diminishing thing in mankind.
Repay the kindness, be gentle,
For, you are lucky, to receive.
So, All you need to say,
Is “Thank you.”
The Sun shines, the Wind blows –
Expect nothing in return.
Yet show Gratitude.
All you need to say,
Is “Thank you.”
Showing gratitude
doesn’t take away anything…
But being in Gratitude –
Fills you with loads of Abundance.
All you need to say,
Is “Thank you.”

Fabio Petrilli (Foggia – Italia, 2000). He attended the E.Medi Scientific School of San Bartolomeo in Galdo (Benevento) where he currently lives. After finishing high school he understood that he possessed a burning passion for humanities, such as Italian Literature and Latin in particular, starting with writing texts, sentences and especially poems in 2020. He is currently studying at the University of Molise, in Campobasso, where he has undertaken the Faculty of Letters and Cultural Heritage. Through writing he manages to best express the emotions he has inside, to draw and create that perfect harmony of the senses that only through the right words and the right phonic combinations he manages to convey to the reader. The themes present in his poems vary and deal purely with topics related to Love in all its facets although themes related to Nature are also present. Everything is expressed through a language that we would dare to define as “polished and fluid”. Numerous literary authors of great national prominence have spoken of his poetic writing such as Paolo Melandri, Sebastiano Impalà, Marzia Carocci, Adriana Sabato (journalist correspondent at the “Quotidiano del Sud”), Filippo Minacapilli and Michela Zanarella. He has collaborated with the publishing house “Ivvi editore” where he is present in a book entitled “Poesia Italiana”, having received several honorable mentions from the publishing house “Aletti Editore”. His poems have been published in various national magazines such as: Leggere Poesia, Di Sesta and Settima Grandezza by the poet Alfredo Rienzi, Borderliber by Martino Ciano, Thetis La Ginestra magazine, L’Altrove – Appunti di poesie, the review “poetrydream” by the poet Antonio Spagnuolo, the literary magazines Limina Mundi by Deborah Mega and “Alla volta di Lèucade” by Nazario Pardini. Fabio Petrilli appears to us as a young revelation poet hoping, in the not too distant future, to publish his first book of poems. Undoubtedly a poetry to delve into the proposition of the great master Giuseppe Aletti that he likes to mention so much: “We write poetry so that human time can be defeated by the infinite projection of ourselves”.
