There I Saw A Poet Poem by Gajanan Mishra

There I saw a poet
Let me say
His name is
Vikram Seth
At the golden gate.

Though dogmatic
I felt
He is passionate.
Ambitious though
I saw in him
That pained me.

Have patience
My dear readers,
Phase by phase
I would tell you
How tasteful
A poet is
At his early stage.


Let me start again
My swift car
I know you are
Blonde one
But here I am
With the poet
Going not westward
But eastward
Where the sun is
All over the days
In the park.
