A Poet Perturbed... Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

A Poet Perturbed...

Rating: 5.0


Love and Nature both
Tantalized me 'n told:
Write on us straight forth
Songs that are sweet and soft

Each claiming more
Deep dear to my thoughts

Perturbed I wrote
A poem praising love
Reading that, Love said
My charm here I lost!

Discarding this write
I drew a poem portrait
Glanced and Nature said,
This one no way great!

Then I composed one
With a message therein
Both came in and said
no
No good this to sing!

Making my pen freeze
And saying no forgive,
Deserting me both leave
I lose my accomplice

Reading my poem, this,
Someone console me, please!

It’s said [mostly in corporate and art sector] ‘Job Satisfaction’ makes one petrified and phlegmatic stagnant …here we find Sr. Poet’s dissatisfaction dictum… and used Love and Nature as symbols… Poet is very wise and subtly percolated out in readers’ mind the Vedic saying CHARYAIVATI… CHARYAIVATI… CHARYAIVATI… [March on and on and on…]…Excellent PH* in PH Thanks Sir an eye-opener for me… 10++ [HF]** Ms. Nivedita UK - *[Poetic Humility] **Heart Felt

Perturbed poets thwart words that are eager to seek their place among thoughts that have fathomed from within the depths of meaningful purpose.

good poem with rhythmic echoes of the Introduction from Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake...
