Turn a great poet



Turn a great poet

You can turn a great poet
Only you should have an art of keeping others quiet
Keep group of four or five to support
Rest other poets may search for safe port

It happens in all the organizations
It becomes known only after some revelations
But exactly what cause we serve by doing so?
We make indecent entry for other poets to go

There is no yard stick for readers to prefer
Some of the ideas are preset and is likely to differ
Yet some kind of favor reflects in trend
This is enough reason for good poet to buckle or bend

In new set up, he may find hardly any one to support
Where as few other poets may kill his chance to anchor at port
None may appreciate his effort to strengthen poetry base
Lot many of them may disappear without facing chase

I have hardly any reason to resent
But of course then spirit of good poetry is absent
You go after established poets with so much to praise
And not a single word for simple poet to boost or raise

Poets are born and not made
As earth gives up nice crops when deeply spade
It is water and natural manure that cultivates fine
Green corps may stand for us to define

Do the words create all magic in verses?
Yes if that is honestly pursued
Poetry may be felt by all even if ignored
As sea waves can't be stopped from rushing to the shore

Bank may feel greatly elated at striking noise
The sound is heard beautifully with sweet voice
As if music is created with each of the passing wave
Ups and down of journey surely represents the fate

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.
