Poet's Poverty Poem by sreelekha premjit

Poet's Poverty



Seeking immortality in verse
working hard at desk

nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs
slip the mind
play hide and seek

when thoughts rush
words fail to turn up

when words do come
they donot become

Keats, Shelley and Wordsworth
taunt the amateurs with their glory

writing, striking off, writing
poet's poverty
