My Indebtedness To Poem Hunter Poem by Valsa George

My Indebtedness To Poem Hunter

Rating: 5.0


Poem Hunter to me is just like a joint family
How by a common bond, here we are strung together
Though sailing in different currents, anchored in remote ports
Distance among us has never been a hitch or a tether

Here we enjoy a warm and genial camaraderie
Often I feel my credit far exceeds my debit
And am weighed down by a heavy sense of debt
I wonder if I will ever be able to repay a small bit

Before I am stamped an insolvent the rest of my life
Let me strive to do some little good while I can
Like a melting candle, let me bring some glow
Before I grow weary and time runs out of my span

Sometimes I feel I am an insidious bed bug
Growing bigger and fatter on others blood
Here when I registered as an artless novice
I was as inane and inexperienced as a kid

As a kite with a piece of broken string
I floated up hither and thither in the skies in vain
You gave me direction, guidance and support
I owe to each one of you for all that I could attain

Your relentless encouragement helps me aim for the heights
Your heart felt blessings give me loads of happiness
Your poems open before me new avenues of thought
Your gracious company creates for me a new ambience

Before my eyes, a hundred smiling faces appear in a row
Some stand out as beacons of radiant light
With words of encouragement, they vanquish all my doubts
Revitalizing my lack luster spirit and leaving it shimmering bright

Through this forum we share our inmost thoughts
How close we feel though never been together
Many have left the scene leaving trails of footprints
And many join fresh to continue the endeavor

Irrespective of creed we are here at art's sacred shrine
‘Poets' we are called and we breathe the scented pride
We stand tall among many others of our species
Let us proclaim aloud our fraternity worldwide!

Delightful poem you wrote. It is as much on behalf of all as your own personal. How much we enjoy company of one another and thrive in the environment provided by PH is not easy to state yet you did it beautifully. Your poetry enthralls all and it is so special for me. I wait for your poems and I wait for your comments. Many sincere thanks.

A befitting tribute with such beautiful words, honoring PH. Possibly, all of us can identify ourselves in PH Club with the same feeling as you have expressed here in details. Here, we all share our views, enrich and get encouragements from each other with great joy. Thank you Valsa to remind, big hands to PH.
