No, that's not the way
One should compose a poem!
If everybody understands
What's great about it?
Who bothers to read and recommend?
Change the order of the words madly,
Use words you don't know the meaning
Let the imagery be irrelevant!
Revise, revise and revise
Until the verse becomes
Unintelligible to yourself!
And then see!
The world stands there with flowers in its hands
To praise and felicitate you!
Though, in privacy, they scratch their heads to know
What your lines really mean!
The world stands there with flowers in its hands To praise and felicitate you! .../// beautiful and excellent expression
Let the imagery be irrelevant! Revise, revise and revise Until the verse becomes......a clear understanding of the poem is necessary. The readers are very busy in this busy world. many dont have time to sit peacefully and read poems. in olden times it was different. i think, poetry should be crystal clear.. it should provide for easy reading with a noble ideal. thank u dear poet. tony
