A Ditty Of Life Poem by Rajesh Thankappan

I sat to write a cheerful lyric
And then tried to spun out of it a song,
But the tune and rhythm somehow didn’t click
Something somewhere had gone wrong.

I tried to refashion it and launch it yet again
In the hope the wind of change shall catch its sails,
But nothing happened, the tide hadn’t changed
To sum up, I‘d in my mission fail.


Saddened I wrote a tearful ditty
And inked it with my tears that flowed,
The song was a hit- I turned into a celebrity
In the darkness I for once like a firefly glowed.
