So You Are A Poet (Being Inspired By Poems Without Readers By Rose Marie Juan Austin) Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Nobody to read his poems the story of his innocent vices Still he is breathing in his poems and the breaths are hot So rightly observed! A fine write!

Dear poet, you have sketched a very meticulous extended work of promising poetess Rose Marie Juan Austin! ....I would love to repeat your third stanza: The poet is sad for his poems not read but ignored/For the poems ignored, no, his tears are not/In waiting for a smile when his works are adored/A machine could spare some time for a flower pot! An excellent piece of work! (10)

Such a touching poem on this materialistic world.

Except for the old who has nothing else to do And the younger ones with love lost and tales of woe Thank you sir.

Reality of the new age. We have no time for aesthetics and becoming money making machine - robots. Yet the poet will be breathing in his poems. A fine work.

A nice poem

I accidentally deleted my last comment so I have to rewrite, to wit: I like the third stanza as quoted by Dr. Dillip and I do adhere to the comment of Khalida Ali. Exceptional write. A favorite and into my Poem List.10

A wonderful write inspired by the poetess Rose Marie's poem. A poet is an artist born with love for the fine arts. He may be dead for the world but he is not. The above verse is brilliant and most inspiring..........10

A fine tribute to the poet. The words of a poem can only become eternal when they are passed through the pages of time. We all share in common emotional responses to lines beautifully penned by the poet. Thank you dear poet and friend. I am inspired by your poems and gracious comments about mine.

The first stanza goes to the core of the heart of a poet. Very touching lines: He may be dead for the world but he is not. I go with the underlying thought of these lines, that a poet can be immortalized by his works.
