Be A Poet, Not A Poetry Writer. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Be A Poet, Not A Poetry Writer.



A poet is more than a poetry writer.
He writes a lot and adheres to a form
Of convention or a standard he's set.
He abstracts for universal appeals.

It is from outside that a poet works,
Taking a step back for observation.
He writes to unburden himself in verses,
And make readers unburden themselves.
