Metamorphosis Of A Reader Poem by Abha Sharma

Metamorphosis Of A Reader

Rating: 3.5


So many words
So much to read
Poems, stories, dramas,
Articles, essays, treatise.

A reader reads them
Reading makes him fervent
Comprehensive brain bristles
Momentous thoughts enthused.

He pens them down
Get added to the knack

All poets should gloom
On this reader’s doom.

Poetry now is orphaned
Leaked from the poet’s pen
Impatiently awaits
A reader’s glance.

'Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.” So says... John Keats. So lets strike with strong Jingles.

Poetry now is orphaned Leaked from the poet’s pen Impatiently awaits A reader’s glance Beautiful lines. Point well expressed. True - when a poem leaves the preccincts of a poet's mind, it is open to interpretation that is if it is ever privileged to be read. I'd like to quote a few lines by Kahlil Gibran Thought is like a bird of space When in a cage of words It may indeed unfold its wings But cannot fly I am not quite sure if I have it spot on. Take care

Very nice, i enjoyed this as it is so true, as we write from our hearts, minds, and experiences we penned them accordingly and we then at that moment only give birth to a new beginning...... Bonnie

This poem is so good as it's very different from the rest and talks about words which are unique as replaced they can't be. All these things are reflected in this poem of yours.

'Poetry now is orphaned Leaked from the poet’s pen Impatiently awaits A reader’s glance.' Love these lines too. Your poem deserves more than a glance, though. Very skilfully constructed. F

I have found that poets of the world are brothers and sisters. They are not separated by age, distance or time. A fellowship of care and understanding abounds as it links. Knowing that the words that are penned reach appreciative eye...make the rhyme complete.

So many poems....so little time....is the way I feel sometimes....I wish I could read them all...for every word is like a child born onto the page....let free....let go...and can't be taken back....but they can grow nurture and inspire...so we must let them go...
