Five Thousand Mark Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Almost achieved five thousand mark
Which I did not believe in the start
Today it has become reality
With submission of articles in poetry

Very good and encouraging response
From readers and I had certainly chosen
To be regular writer with deliverance of best
Today it has come out as real test

Neither had I counted poems
Nor kept any account of them
They have flown in like river water
Even in zigzag way, path was not altered

How to express gratitude?
With simple words of no magnitude
I had wondered all the time
Of achieving reasonable standard at any time

Today I feel really thrilled
My face has really smiled
As my name implies for the same
I am really in for good name

It is nice to be called ordinary poet
I sincerely write and prefer to be quiet
It has brought me so near to the recognition
I love more of their criticism and less of appreciation
