Is Poet A Lunatic? Poem by asma bahrainwala

I enjoy your expression.. especially in the finish, that's what makes me love this little poem - the ending. Sums the whole thing up perfectly. I am a lunatic and I am mad.. ashame.

there is a little madness in every human mind...that is what makes them special...love... nalini

Hey We are not mad, we are special people, else in whose world would stars wink at lovers and trees will symbolize families. enjoyed this lil' poem! Preets

poets are just ordinary people.i dont feel any difference between before and after writing poems bcos i started witing at 50, now it is only 5years.but people, even my friends keep a distance after i started writing.the only difference is that they are blessed with the power of creation.when will they understand this.. nice poem

Nice one but why not accept being mad?

Good to be lunatic than not to be a poet...

A poet is not a lunatic.......just a wee bit touched! But....are not we all?

your poems directly connect the poet to the reader...poets are more sensible for they can pen their emotions which otherwise are left unattended by the commom person.... a nice gesture..for poet is NOT MAD...

nice write.i am reminded of a Shakespear's poem where it says the poet.the lunatic and the lover are of made of the same stuff. yes, to some extent, Asma, poets look at things differently because of their possessing, what is called, a 'fevered imagination '.The poet can only see 'beauty in an Egypt's brow '. ...udit.

What a great way to look at peoples reaction to being a poet... asma they make you feel like you are doing wrong... You know what they say, only another poet really understands a poet...10
