i have had my due
of poets and poetry
that maddening addictive
occupying the space of my mind

i have learnt a few things
unlearnt a few others
travelled through minds' spaces
sipped the delights

i have had a wonderful time
at desk today
my day is fruitful
coz i met so many a learned soul

this day then as i move
i bow in honour to you
those who turn to the pen
to tell the world what they think.
