Readers are readers



It baffles me
As I am bound by rules and not free
I got to go by strict rules of grammar
This creates panic and little fear

I follow the instinct
Go by what is available as fact
Try to put soul in words
Try to become spokesman of Lord

Words pour in and in stream flows
Lines move on and allow
All ideas assume the real shape
Then emerges beautiful appearance of page

By no standard I am poet
Just at your service to remain quiet
If something comes in as fresh food
I just pass on before it is understood

I look back to see how far I have gone
What mistakes remain there to be rectified then?
I try maximum at my level to keep the soul intact
Then wait from the readers to react

They are considerate and knowledgeable
Help me to come out if at all I struggle
This is the only asset I have with nice bond
Everything is placed behind unimportant and second

I feel that I am one of them and so must stay
As near as possible and not go away
Provide them little different material
As to present new episodes in serial

I flow with the content
Mind remains totally absent
No grammar or nothing else strikes mind
But readers are readers and very kind

Hasmukh Mehta

am an ex-serviceman from Indian Air force. I joined Oriental Insurance Company and retired from there too in May, 2007. I have been graduated from Punjab University. I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard. I am writing on many sites so as to be associated with reader friends all over the world. I am thankful to all those who have supported me in my initial days. more…
