Irony of a poet

Abhay Tyagi 2006 (India)

Free verse
The decrepit anthology, a soul being laid bare
on its pages,
lies forsaken in so cruel a manner;
the soulful tune of unread verses reverberating
in its material.

But the poet shall waste away in want
of appreciation;
and in great irony, be immortalized
for centuries thereafter.
