Measure Of A Man Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Measure Of A Man

Rating: 5.0


The measure of a man
Some say, is not artistic ken,
But in harnessing of him,
His aspirations-filled dream,
Passions and personal pride,
The flow of thoughts beside,
His feelings and emotions…

No, the measure of a man
Be as much in creative ken
As in reining tide-ebb of passions,
So worry, nor wonder, where poets stand
Dipped in all these raw emotions….

Fairly high I'd say if we understand,
Sans its emotions-filled sea,
Where wonder I poetry be?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A god-man was discoursing on self-control detailing on the true measures of a man. And it occurred to me: where does a poet stand in that case?

Good readers they say make good poets, but a few sparrows do not a summer make. Thanks for your kind remarks.

I trace a single word 'self-control' as the true indicator of a good human being and a sober person! An insightful piece of work sir... liked the first stanza most.....10
