Demon And Ghost Poem by Ashraful Musaddeq

Demon And Ghost



[Dedicated to honorable poet Kesav Venkat Easwaran]

[Gresham's law: 'Bad money drives out good.']


Demon and ghost— a few host
Lift them up— PH hub

Demon and ghost— love them most
Off-line charm— nothing harm
Going fast— heart with rust

Demon and ghost— poetic roast
Never comment— need not read
Need not post— they have ghost

Demon and ghost— charismatic boost
Popular overnight— effortless height
Quality fled— PH cute shed

Demon and ghost— a few host
Poets who good— amazing shoot


[Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
— Rudyard Kipling]

Really have no idea which demons and ghosts it's about but indeed it's a nice read and good flow too. East does meet west at some mysterious junction but they remain opposing eachother.

Very interesting perspective on how it works here in PH. I do think though that those who work hard commenting and reading deserve popularity most. Good poem Ashraful.

Demon and ghost— poetic roast Never comment— need not read Need not post— they have ghost Demon and ghost— charismatic boost Popular overnight— effortless height Quality fled— PH cute shed -------- As the site's explanation according on one's rating it rises through how many visitors viewed the poet's front page, thus one need not comment nor post a new poem. Moreover, with the poems quality is not questionable. So the game here is... you can brag about your URL in poemhunter by posting it in your social sites, another poetry site where you write, etc. It is permitted accordingly (which is you'll be able to find it on the site's rules and policies...therefore it is a legitimate action in promoting your poems) . The advantage here is...if you have a wide network of friend’s world wide, they can view your front page anytime (since PH access to outsiders or non-members of this site is so very easy, unlike with other poetry site the access is limited to their bona fide members) . So with each viewers the computer will automatically count in the visitor who have opened one’s page...However to those members who have less network of friends, who only depends on PH members reading and commenting even they have great quality of writings and working hard to attain ratings well popularity is so small. I just hope with this explanation everyone will get the know how to be on the TOP list without due effort or quality. However, you have to assess yourself what really is your purpose of writing poetry and what fulfillment you’ll be able to attain in doing so. Remember all that glitters is not gold! Tons of love and thanks!

Dear poet, Maybe my English isn´t that good to keep up with Kippling´s ideas but one thing though, I´d like to comment on: Souls know no east nor west, love knows no bounderies... Before God´s white throne, our souls won´t come wrapped in our national flags, we won´t appear before Him labbed from the east / from the west He will see us through... Love will be our identity before the Lord, His holy spirit is the label of those of are truly sons of God, Love is the DNA of the sons of God Can anyone tell me if eternity is in the east or in the west?
