What a tiger does on not finding a deer?
I should write a poem now.
If I can write only when words come to me voluntarily,
How can I call me a poet?
If the verse spontaneously overflow,
What is there to do for a poet?
Sorry Mr.Wordsworth!
I took a paper and a pen.
Oops! It's very difficult
To pen down something,
When your word-rivers are dried.
Now I felt myself as a,
Cloud failing to rain;
A rainbow faded,
And . . . eh . . .
What happened to me?
I look'd at my old poems
To convince myself.
But, oh! I'm not satisfied.
I didn't want to
Be caught blue-handed,
Begging for metaphors and similies,
And still announcing myself a poet.
I scratched my head,
Walked around like a mad,
No use! My paper remained white
As white as the rainless-cloud.
I shook my head,
Tore my paper,
Threw my pen away,
To come to a conclusion
Doesn't a poet create a poem,
Poems choose their pens rather!
