Poetry & Prose Poem by Ravinder Malhotra

If I would write a poem
Be it on a rose,
It would rhyme gently
And would not read as prose

I am not a poet
And neither would I be hence
But peddling prose as poetry
Is simply nonsense

My thoughts and inner feelings
They simmer night and day,
I’ve yet to have an audience
On rendering yawn away

Oh young aspiring poets
Let's have some rhythm and rhyme
If too much of an effort
Abstain, it’s not a crime!
