Never Pin Hope On Skill Only! Poem by Ramesh T A

Many are pinning hopes on talents in music, paining and poetry;
They head long plunge into this great adventure with great hope;
They try and try and try to the last drop blood to see success!

Poetry makes one famous in the world, but fortune never smiles;
Musicians have chance for survival giving some performances...;
Painters too by displaying in great halls get considerable amount!

Novels, non-fiction and short stories get prizes and amounts;
But poetry, more than all these, says in a nutshell so many things;
Many believe other works are hard to do but not poetry of a few lines!

Poetry does the work of a whole novel, non-fiction and short story
In a brief space that ever lasts in the minds and hearts of wise ones;
But for many, it is incredible and no one feels it is immortal too!

Generally all devoted to writing of poetry have to do some other work
For survival in the world but cannot pin hope on skill in false world!
