Poem- Dilip Swain Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Poem-Dilip Swain
Sunday,12th July 2020

I read your poem
and accepted regret
but you had surpassed all decency limits
it is most unsuitable for people like you

instead of encouraging senior poets
you wanted to quite them
by insulting with derogatory remarks
I had no option but to report

I never look at my position
but strengthen the relation
by taking care of even unknown poets
I always encouraged and set them to scale high

You accused me of not knowing English
and finished by saying"you are ashamed of my being as countryman"
you even went on saying " I am stupid and fool"
I never countered and went on staying on the top

For 12 years. I am attached to poem hunter family
writing on different subjects daily
if theydid not like me, they did not read
but never condemned my writing

I am thankful to all those
who chose
to stand by me in this slender campaign
I have regained the strength and zeal too
