Run, run
Make a fun
Fill our coffers
With a lucrative offer

Poetry competition
it is the matter with an excitation
it gives pleasure
and reassures our future

it is done on several occasions
either on the celebration of great personality
or with the renowned person's birth centenary
or wherever it is felt necessary

it has a noble aim
where thousands of poets come and claim
their excellence
with the brilliance

so far and so good
if its goal is understood
but nowadays it has been made commercial
some fees are kept for participation for individual poets

poets have to pay the fees!
why is it not made free?
throw it open for real talent
and present it before the audience!

I may be the wrong
cuckoo doesn't charge for song
nature is also open for free
shade is allowed free under the tree

we find it difficult
to understand the new cult
"Earn as much as you can"
make people fool and run the show
