A Smile For A Smile - A Tribute To All

Rating: 5.0


A SMILE FOR A SMILE
a poem for a poem...and
that seems fair in this forum

What a variety of people we have here
nine to a ninety of age would be there
what a variety of poets we have here
some would paint lovely pictures
some would bring lovely music
some could paint and play music together
all of it only with words in order
some are naughty
some are just heart broken
a lot write on god
yet to see an 'atheist' poet here
what a variety of poets we have here

Is there a rat race here?
I admit that i visit the 'promote your poems' now and then
I do it to see how much iam read
I certainly want to be read
I do request a lot of poets to read me
I do respond to their requests too...that's it
a rat race here is a shame
who can overtake whom in 'creativity'
each one's individuality is what matters
to me creativity would sustain humanity

I used to be writing in tamil
i used to read it to my wife and daughters
i owe it to my wife..she is my first fan
my daughters gave up tamil and took up french
when i started writing in english...they left the country itself
I think it is a boon to be read by so many
i think it is a boon to read so many
I thank every body for their support and guidance

This may be the most charmingly dedicated writing to poets that I have ever read. And it is so true in every way. The extraordinary thing to me about poetry in general is the variety. Still, the great word referenced here was creativity. It is still the rarest of all traits among poets. God give us more creativity. That is our prayer. Even among atheists. GW62

Lovely indeed. Ah! But life is not perfect & therefore we race, even if it is against ourselves, often, just to redeem a lost smile. Your work always puts a smile on my face. A hint of light in the gloom of night with words for one & all.
