None except you can understand
how poets hanker
for recognition
but some just praise
to be read
give 10 points to all
such is a danger
kindly note
a poet can make
no progress
A famous poet was being nominated for a Nobel
(I gather)
He asked
why doyou want to my potential limit
let me share more of my mind
with all
I can never reach above the level
if you give me a NOBEL
So, I feel so happy
thousands read me daily
I bask in anonymity
Glad I am not a celebrity
they cinder in isolation
when the producers and publishers
have done ‘em in
I don't want to face
such an eventuality
your poetry undoubtedly is Lovely
so, let it be
Ride on regardless
you are free
like me

Recognition is an obstacle..It destroys one's freedom..poets should not run after recognition.. recognition and awards are chains..a caged bird can not sing so well as a bird flying in the sky.. Very nice poem..another great composition by poet poet ji
