Poet Recondite Poem by Sathya Narayana
Poet Recondite
With one stroke he can make
With one knock he can break
With one spill of his ink
He can wake the world up
But flying is his mind in the skies
At the bays of the heaven fictional
Unmindful of his legs in the earth
So well rooted one foot up to knees
He’s a poet recondite unmindful
Of his social duties
What a waste is talent that serves not
Populace that is grinding in grief
My advice to fellow poet greats
You better ask your pen what it prefers
Its purpose; if I’m right
It tells straight,
To invest on this earth its finest letter wealth
But it sulks, if at all
Better break its nib-neck
the rhythm is similar to a brisk march past...a very apt technique employed to suit the theme...
your choice of anapestic meter suits the theme. it has an energetic movement and has strong rhymes- conveys your message in style. one has to read it aloud for proper impact. very well done Mamta
Sathya you excel in all the genres of poetry- love, nature, social and philosophical. you are a poet with very high social consciousness. yes, I do agree with Varanasi ji, that poetry gets written on its own, dependind on the moment that inspires us. however, living in the society a writer cannot isolate himself from the world he lives in. though provoking and inspiring. you are experimenting in duifferent forms. I am learning a lot reading yopur poems thanks Mamta
Poetry is not written. It writes itself. So suggestions to poets may not be of much use. Every one has one's own heart and conscience. Let us leave it to the discretion and discern of the individual poet. Sermons may not work here.
'Populace that is grinding in grief' proves an exemplary turn of phrasing, Sathya! Overall, I enjoyed this one and it's imagery immensely. Keep asking your pen these pertinent questions; I know I'll be grateful! Warm regards, John.
