THE SOUL OF THE POEM

Just as any other worldly mother

Experiences the same joy and pain

Of giving birth to a child during labour

So too is the joy of birthing a poem.

The agony and the ecstasy of the effort

is the same when writing a bad one;

Which the reader may not like or derive comfort,

As it is for creating an excellent one

For ultimately from the soul it all rises

And definitely is written with total passion.

So read it even if it doesn’t deserve any prizes

For the sincerity of a piece is its salvation

For every poem does have an individual soul

And this soul makes the reading experience whole
