Poet-Visionary Character Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Poet - Visionary character
Wednesday,16th June 2021

To be a dreamer
it is a tribute to the creator
but to be a Poet
you need to be visionary but not remain quiet

dreamer has no place
to remain in the race
and serve the humankind
he needs to find a way and means

need not be an extraordinary
but yes, affectionate and visionary
who thinks more of people's pain
anguish, sufferings and remains concerned

poets don't mean to be an imaginary character
who weave around artificial images
and manage
metaphors and difficult language

his creation as a poet may go far-off places
and keep him in the race
with his bold writings
and above all, known as 'poet human being'
