Cuts And Slash For Words! Poem by Clarence Prince

Cuts And Slash For Words!

Rating: 5.0


The rain dashes down with a great splash
It falls upon whom it chooses to wash

The wise sees a rain cloud and to a shelter dash
But the shelter less prepares to settle for a wash

Whilst the thunder rolls and with a great clash
The lightning swiftly starting to flash

With rising water doing many out of cash
While everything else goes to the trash

A poet writes but where is the cash
Because he rushes he does a slapdash

It seems he does it just for a brash
Readers read but hold on to their cash

Then all the poems ended up into the trash
Yet a poet will ever writes to whitewash

Whoever fines time to read and laugh
As well as one may just sigh and cough

Even so, a poet writes, we read and laugh
Too bad for those who just read and cough

The rain dashes down with a great splash
It falls upon whom it chooses to wash

Like the rain splashing down without waiting for anybody's bidding, poems are created by the poet at will without caring if they produce smile or scorn. As the sky cannot contain rain clouds without letting them fall down in the form of rain drops, a poet when filled with imagination let it to be poured into paper in the form of verse! Reading this poem, I felt getting wet on a sunny day in a drizzle! Thanks!
