Not Skill Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Not skill
Friday,17th January 2020

Poetry is not a skill
it is not acquired at will
if that was the proposition
the position might have been the different

it is pure heart
and purity resides in the form of an art
that sees only kindness in behavior
and feels sore too

how does it come out!
and talk about
the humanity in general
and human beings in particular

love has new dimension
and it needs mention
when words flow in earnest
they are disguised in their best

where the poetry is not seen?
not in oration, not in revelation or natural scene!
poetry is everywhere
only eyes need to look around and stare

words create dramatic effect
the feeling comes into an act
the mind is tuned to real happening
this is how we are defining the poetry
