The Poet Poet (Me Poet Yeps Poet [plume]) Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The Poet Poet (Me Poet Yeps Poet [plume])

Rating: 5.0


"The Poet Poet" is your pen name,
but what's your real name
and who are you?
I asked a flower, "Who is this man? "
The flower replied once I allowed him to kiss
he wrote a poem on me.
The poem was read all over the world,
now butterflies of various colors and shades
come to me and kiss me,
I am annoyed of kisses.
I asked a butterfly, "Who is this poet."
I don't know him but he chases me everywhere
he snatches colors from me,
and instead of painting me he paints a rose,
I don't know why he doesn't love me
the rose has only one color and I have so many,
Alas! I have only colors,
but the rose has fragrance as well!

With the pen name The Poet Poet paints the rose in colours. Then he or she spreads fragrance across the globe through butterfly and flower. His or her poems are kisses to the page of writing. Time has come now. He or she shall declare his or her name. This is a nice tribute to the poet. This poem is excellently drafted....10

How does a silent beautiful flower speak apart from sharing colours only and how does a butterfly love the poet in poet me I ask all thee why not let me live or bask in my anonymity a celebrity this way i may be if you know my reality then wait for some time as no one will ever give a NOBEL to a non entity so Akhtar Jawad Janab your poetry on me is the life's biggest achievement another great poet thought of me thanks JA ji

I really enjoyed this poem full of humor and soft irony. A myriad of 10's. Sir, I am not that butterfly but the rose.... you see.? My grandest compliment for this true touching poem, I have laughed to tears, so sorry, but one can have tears from laughing too long. PLEASE, read this correctly, I meant truly LAUGHING, not LOVING. Thank you, Sir!

The Poet Poet (Me Poet Yeps Poet) asked me (messaged) several times to comment his poem TimesOoblivion, I corrected that in the SEARCH added his name, but all I can find is this adorable parable by Akhtar Sir. What can I do than give THIS beautifully (as oft) metaphored poem a true loving comment? So sorry that I hadn't found it.10

nicely written - instead of painting me he paints a rose may be THE POET POET chases you with pure love, color of heart (crimson) and unique fragrance....

Sometimes the two are really one, as colors blend in the same pen, Love is indeed a curious thing, I love your style of interchanging thoughts!
