I Am Not A Poet Yet! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

I Am Not A Poet Yet!

Rating: 4.3


I am not a poet yet....
Nor I am inborn poet.
Nor with any special talent driving me to be a poet.
Just picked few words of dew drops
Each dews looked like a glittering pearl.
Guided the dew drops to flow freely through a channel painted in canvas.
Finally, went on binding pearls into a thread of passion.
Enchanting fragrance of jasmine gave a glow of touch to the poetic garland.
Each petals of rose added a beauty to its looks.
Poetic ice cream with cherry toppling just ready to be served.
Savoured by your lovely comments.
Your each comments, I have kept as treasures in my heart.

I am not a poet yet....
I drove the poetic vehicle without following proper rules and regulations.
Went on switching lanes of tense.
Grammatical errors were chasing me from behind.
With some sparks of punctuations!
Many horns buzzed me to correct the lines.

I am not a poet yet..
As I learnt a lot from you and still learning from you.
As you showed me the different paths through which a poem can travel.
You taught me,
Poem is like a reflecting diamond where each angles reflects differently.
You taught me,
To understand what critics wanted to tell.
My some poems ended just into a question mark.
With no way of turning back.
I couldn't revert it back.

I am not a poet yet...
I attract a penalty.
My poetic vehicle is towed by a traffic police for reverse driving.
I was charged for over speeding poems in a wonderful way,
one after the another
Made a traffic jam to enter PH highway road.
My van will be released only if I gave a confirmation stating
No more further mistakes! !

I am not a poet yet...
To tell you the bitter truth.
I read many greatpoets precious works
Many times I felt will I ever be able to touch their feet any time?
I am too far away from them..
Where do I stand, to be precise nowhere!

As......
I am not yet become a poet!
Nor I am not a born poet!

Your poems sing the song of your heart. That's why they touch the readers so emotionally. Thank you for sharing another good poem. The title is humble, as is the note. In the middle, the poem flows naturally. As I cannot send you a message, I take this opportunity to thank you for your kind remarks on my poem 'Lost My Way'.

What if they say what you write is not poetry... Never mind those words. However by saying you are no poet you really showed in versatile poetic skills. Lovely verse!

You are a wonderful poetess but very unfortunately you are staying away from us. If I can stay, why you can't. Please write!
