To The Budding Poets Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

To The Budding Poets



You are to linger on
Till your mind blows down.
You are to write on
Till your pen dries out.

Work like honey bees
Till they call you great poets.
Share your thoughts and pains
Till your spirit joins the clouds

Language needs care
For it reflects your learning.
Expression needs passion
For it describes your yearning.

Write ten thousand lines about the life
Writ large on your planet`s forehead.
Right many a wrong as you live on
And tell the world you are there.

Language needs care For it reflects your learning. Expression needs passion For it describes your yearning A beautiful and sound advice to the budding poets! You were ever a reliable guide and mentor to them! But the big brother, instead of lingering on often give up half way! !

I feel so good knowing many people here encourage each other especially the advice for budding poets...and it show that love can always exist in this world to attach to each part, every heart in many way...as a big family encouraging to each other is a natural spirit in living family-hood to always have...thanks Dinesh_Soul

A well meaning advice to young and emerging poets. I do hope this advice is taken in the right spirit especially when they contribute to literature 'Language needs care....'.A very nice write. Last stanza is noteworthy.
