WHAT POETRY MEANS TO ME

 

I ’ve always had a lot to say
Never ran out of words
Then Shobna took me to Kavitanjali
And I re-discovered verse

Since then, if I am angry
Sad, happy or just plain mad
I can’t think in prose even if I try
And that isn’t really so bad

I got some brickbats in my e mail
And bouquets on the bulletin board
I read a million classic poems last year
Re-read them till I was bored

Don’t know if I got any better
I know there is a lot of scope
But as long as there is Kavitanjali
I know that I have hope

They publish everything I write
And even say I’m good
What more can I ask for
Than to be heard and understood?

So what poetry really means to me
Is, now, a way of life
So thank you, Kavitanjali
More power to your site!!
