Vanity Brute Poem by Sathya Narayana

Vanity Brute

Rating: 5.0


Whenever some friend praised
That my poetry is good
Fuddled; I raise my hand
To check for horns on head
Satisfied; I bruit abroad
“Well! Well! So far so good
Vanity brute hasn’t gone to head
I am still your kind
Eligible to coyly tread
Along with you; ahead”

Most of us like to be noticed and feel some praise, but is this vanity? Not if like Sathya question ourselves, a humling poem. Bob

Being a lawyer, you are a down to earth person. But a person with a compassionate mind and a poetic heart! -Raj Nandy

This is very sweet Sathya. Your feel for the comedic is quite beguiling and your thoughts, I'm sure, reflect those of most of us who put pen to paper and wait for comments. A skillfully constructed, witty little poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
