Inference Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

Wit and intellect
Wisdom and knowledge
Experience and sense
Art and science
All employed to know a poet's mind in a poem
Have you ever met him/her in person?
To know that
Explored are likeliness and facts
You peel off the crust
Penetrate into sinews
Bones crackle and give way
But nowhere is found the soul
Somewhere something is missing in simple things
The fact is the soul of a poet
Always seeks to take refuge in something else
We love yet to find out
