Poemhunter Poets Poem by Ravi Kopra

There are poets who post their poems
that nobody reads and wonder why
no one makes comments on them
They cannot wait to be read and heard
They start commenting on their own poems -
Like it is an excellent poem on
love, nature, romance and rivers

There are poets who portray themselves
as God blessed pious poets and everything
they write, to God somehow they relate
and on every poem they make comments
God damned god of theirs creeps in

There are poets who write in English
but their parlance is vernacular
Verbs do not match with nouns, adverbs
become adjectives, and adjectives, pronouns
When pointed to their pidgin English
they throw fits, and frown and say:
language, grammar, diction, syntax
have nothing to do with poetry, only their
cup of emotions that always runneth over.
