{ Random Thoughts On Poetry } Poem by Manohar Bhatia

[Some poets write sonnets to die for
Other poets write haikus to live for
Some poets write gimmicks for fun
Other poets write lyrics for a Sun
Some poets like to rhyme and dine off
Other poets like to hymn and sign off
But all poets have one goal,
To write one thing and meaning another,
And, this is ironically permissible in poetry.
