Plea For Poetasters Poem by Ananta Madhavan

Plea For Poetasters



When the poet of a bygone age
Spoke of breezes amorous in gardens,
Oceans in travail and skies in rage,
Cliche overlooked, wasn't he carelessly
Perpetrating a 'pathetic fallacy'?
Such conceits may after all be pardoned
In a drivelling scribe who was verbally
Too exuberant with his hyperbole,
When nature ran
Scheduled to plan
In spite of man.
