Exceedingly Well Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

“Please, can you comment on my new poem”?
I have written few and this is one of them
When I opened “in box” the message was there
I was amused to read it and thought over

Some requests are normally made
I feel nothing wrong if we take poetry as trade
Generally poems are composed as passion
It is just divinely expression

When it is written person forgets about self or him
It is natural feeling emerging from within
When such kind of things are put to readers
I feel the noble job is accomplished here

So many people are in hunt for good material
They will not pass their comments but read in general
They will know who is real poet and deserves attention
So when they write, the readers give due recognition

Old poets never went in for public’s acclaim
Their poems are still treasure to claim
You get pleasure and come out with satisfaction
This is pure feeling and shows the satisfaction

I went on to search one poet’s profile
“There are 800 poems in my files”
I stood number one on some sites for few days”
Now I need only limited poets

I could read his anxiety lines
It was nothing but to sideline
Raise own importance for selfish motive
The purpose is defeated when you become subjective

Well, I shall love to die as unsung poet
It is better to write and remain quiet
Listen if some one comes near the grave
Recites some of lines from my poem as saved

Some of the poets get recognition after their death
It is not that they did not want till they breathed
It took whole of their life time to come to certain level
They survived criticism yet done exceedingly well
