A Music Or Song Or Poetry? Poem by Ramesh T A

A Music Or Song Or Poetry?

Rating: 5.0


It is celebration time with music and song playing in full!
No song but only blaring band music rent up the air there;
Moving away from the party poet finally lay on grass lawn
Looking the sky beautifully illuminated by twinkling stars!

Poetry is the source for song and music everywhere long;
But now the other way about has come into vogue soon!
Music, song and poetry have become the order of the day.
Even in poetry stanzas and substance have gone away!

Horizontal poems have been superseded by vertical poems!
Music and message have gone away with stripped bones
In the form of break up phrases standing vertically ever
Occupying just one third of page space for full length poem!

Music was giving liveliness and beauty to kindle gaiety
For the best ideas of poetic songs to live in hearts of many.
But now carried away by the taste of music only nobody
Seems to bother about ideas, message and meaning ever!

Patience has gone away hurrying to see end is upper most
Leaving interest soon fade away to boredom and tiredness.
Even for long enjoyment there should be patience for all
And that is the point of note all should know to enjoy better!
