Rhyming Discourse On Abstract Poetry Poem by s.zaynab kamoonpury
Rhyming Discourse On Abstract Poetry
Ah yes, I'm used to being very lucid<br>
I've always been crystal clear<br>
just to get my message across<br>
No obscurity I tend to bear.<br>
<br>
I don't enjoy spinning complex webs of words<br>
labyrinthine poesy puts my mind into a maze<br>
Rarely do I complicate my stuff<br>
to put your grey matter into a haze.<br>
<br>
So usually I try not to be even a cryptic crypto-critic<br>
Through smooth roads do I drive my point home<br>
But I don't really mind being more eclectic<br>
in carving and crafting a poetic dome<br>
I can't speak cabbage when writin on carrots<br>
I donot ever digress from my topic<br>
<br>
Ah, my poems and poetry I tend to paraphrase<br>
and I try to employ a lot of candour<br>
So both amateurs and professional can glean from my candid ways<br>
for my succint works ain't no brainteaser.<br>
<br>
Even when I go in deep waters<br>
and write poetry that's intense and quite deep<br>
It's still comprehended by both laymen and scholars<br>
coz' mine has a rise and fall of the steep<br>
(they can always cross where it's not too steep lol') <br>
<br>
yet indulging in other's poetic intricacy<br>
is luring me too to go abstract<br>
So for a change I'll try out this delicacy<br>
and will veil and mystify my fact<br>
<br>
I'll try to rack and rake your brains tortuosly<br>
might just keep you guessing forever<br>
I might apply verbiage and jargon for a change<br>
and opt for grandiloquent endeavour<br>
<br>
Wonder if lots of gumption as such is required<br>
to throw this game of chance javelin at readers<br>
Complexity and ingenuity might be inspired<br>
but I leave that to leading poetry leaders.<br>
<br>
Perhaps I've already acquired a taste for the sublime food for thought<br>
but penning arcane poetry is not really my cup of tea<br>
I love to fascinate myself by reading them<br>
but I prefer not to brew the difficul'tea' of abstract poetry.<br>
<br>
So I can't forever be gnomic in my work<br>
Not for long can my poems be gobbledygook<br>
I can't be moving the goal posts for me nor you readers<br>
Catch my cod with an uncomplicated hook.<br>
<br>
And though my poetry may at times sound didactic<br>
but I simply say what I simply must<br>
before returning to forgettable dust<br>
A homily becomes shorter when tis but poetic<br>
to prevent even hearts of gold from gathering rust.
A good lesson need to read it again n again so adding in my list.A poet is neither a layman nor a scholar. A poet is a poet with simplicity of words and emotions and the art of expression. There is no such instruement to scale the smiles n cries of nature. In fine a poet is all in one. Thanks for share. Deserving full.

I agree with you and I think nobody has agreed with you in a more eloquent way than RW Emerson in his essay, the poet: The sign and credentials of the poet are, that he announces that which no man foretold. He is the true and only doctor; he knows and tells; he is the only teller of news, for he was present and privy to the appearance which he describes. He is a beholder of ideas, and an utterer of the necessary and causal. For we do not speak now of men of poetical talents, or of industry and skill in metre, but of the true poet. and in the next paragraph he goes on: For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument, that makes a poem, — a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing. The thought and the form are equal in the order of time, but in the order of genesis the thought is prior to the form. The poet has a new thought: he has a whole new experience to unfold; he will tell us how it was with him, and all men will be the richer in his fortune.
