One Wing Bird Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

I wrote a poem
and posted on a site
a poet commented ….
it's not a poem, but a poetry
I answered …. 'It's both,
when I write
I need to take two decisions
what I wish to express
and how it can be
‘how' is known as form,
‘what' is content
I believe ….
the form is poem,
and the content is poetry.
when they fit with each other
it touches the heart
it's called a good poem
my poem is also a poem
but like a one-winged bird
it can't fly in the sky
but walks with great difficulty.
