A Portrait Painted With Words Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
A Portrait Painted With Words
Pray what is it that you try to explain?
Explain? Poetry portraits of words paint,
Feelings are felt; yet, words being so vain,
There's li'le to know but enjoy fragrant scent.
A flower's scarce smelt to know what it meant,
Scent be the path the joy in flower packs,
Problem is: words waft meanings howso faint,
Poet distracts still; turns, twists, and sidetracks.
Lucky, if his ferry fetches some fish,
But that can make no ferries fishing boats,
As melody, mere ornamental notes—
Fishing nor a fish dish be poet's wish.
Still dear, if you enjoy my word portrait,
And call it meaningful still, wow how great!

If I've understood the riddle of an enigma of yours, what your right hand gives by way of a compliment, your left hand takes away with a left-handed one. Any way a left-handed compliment is still better than no compliment. So thanks for small mercies.
