A Poet Is… Poem by V P Mahur

A poet is a fighter…
Who fights against
The all kind of odds
Without any weapons
Or the punishing rods

A poet in an explorer…
In this imperfect world
The faults are inevitable
The poet picks the holes
And gives them a label

A poet is an observer…
The magic of his words
Is visible over us all
He praises the virtues
To avoid a moral fall

A poet is an instructor…
Vices lie everywhere
Whether hidden or visible
The indication of the poet
Is the armor of the capable

A poet is a wanderer…
In fact his soul travels
Freely in the universe
He takes infinite forms
With his every new verse
