Apollo's Quill Poem by Indira Renganathan

Apollo's Quill

Rating: 5.0


Writing is tough but made easy
When I'm not lazy
When I'm not crazy
But choosy
About this brand of pen
Its ink a brand won..
Writing
In a style written golden
People rating it to number one
And calling it their way..
Blake and Byron one day
Yeats and Keats another day
Milton and Middleton any day

And words worth this pen
Naming it after an Indian
Kabir or Tagore or Amir
Kannadhasan or Bharathidhasan or Bharathiar..

This pen of poets
Be it aptly named in due deference
After the Lord as 'Apollo's quill'

I always invoke Ma Swasarwati, Ganesh Vidapati, Jupiter & Apollo's Quill, before undertaking any major composition! 10+ -Raj Nandy (ONLY when you get some free time, do read my history of TROY -on page 3, sl no.44. Thanks!)
