Oh! Poet…. Poem by Angelina Pandian

[A tribute to all my poet friends before whose thoughts and poems I stand in awe and wonderstruck say Wha! Wha! ! Thanks for welcoming me into your gardens and showing me a display of such beauty of poetic delight. Keep writing and having me as your guest.]

Reading your poems
I say, Wha! Wha! !
With wide open eyes
I drink their nectar all
Fill the basket of my heart
With their fragrant thoughts.
Poet come, please teach me
What you sing, I sit below
'Neath the shade of the Banyan tree
Poet come, please I wait for thee!
Poet come, please teach me
What you sing, I sit beside
The cool and flowing stream
Poet come, please I wait for thee!
Poet come, please teach me
What you sing, I sit below
The iron bars of your inner
Courtyard open to sky
Poet come, please I wait for thee!
Poet come, please teach me
What you sing, I sit upon
A branch swinging to your flute
Poet come, please I wait for thee!
Poet come, please teach me
What you sing, I sit amidst
The Jasmine flowers in the garden
Poet come, please I wait for thee!
Poet come, please teach me
What you sing, I sit alone
Waiting by your garden gate
Poet come, please I wait for thee!
