The zealous poet lay awake all night
When fancy tickled, he sat up to write
Scripted verse after verse
On topics diverse
But sad, none of his poems found light!
Struggle of a poet is far captured in vision to express in way of fun in this beautiful Limerick. This happens sometimes a poet becomes zealous and thinks more to sit and write poems whole night. This is sad definitely if his poems do not get light and readers do not accept these. A cleverly penned poem is shared through expression of humor....10
It is true that a poet or poetess writes poems when fancy tickles.
It is true that a poet or poetess writes poems when fancy tickles, this happens to the poet here. He efforts whole night to write though none of his poems found light! . Very beautiful limerick on struggle. Thanks for sharing.
I had to come back to this one, brings me hope knowing that I am not alone. Thanks Valsa.
plight of most poets -their work never sees light! Nice limerick!
A very true satire on poets who write so many poemslike me but fail to write a good poem
Lovely poem with so many gifted poets vying for the spot light enjoyed by 'The zealous poet'. Of late, I have also been doing that. I am glad that I get a sound sleep after this arduous exercise. Thanks for sharing the poem, Valsa ji.
Great humour, Valsa! I can relate to this. You could be talking about me....as what you describe is almost always the first day of any attempt of mine to write anything. Great work, Valsa.

Where did you get that picture of me? Trying to write some crappy poetry Nothing I write will rhyme Forget about sublime In poetry I'm a catastrophe Thanks for the fun Valsa.
