Two Issues..... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

There is a big question.
Poems are meant for whom?
Some say that poets write for their readers.
Others say that they write for themselves.

If poets write poetry for readers
then their creation will be less natural.
If poets write poetry for themselves
then they will be less reader-friendly.

Tagore`s songs are more popular
than his poems with the Bengali people.
Lots of abstruse poems remain obscure
as few bold hands try to unveil the thick veil.

Poems may be shallow or deep.
The number of layers is the soul of poetry.
If anything that looks like a poem is poetry
then hanuman chalisa is great poetry.
