|| I WANT TO BE A POET ||

|| I WANT TO BE A POET ||

I want to be a poet,

but I don't know the rhymes.

I thought for lasting hours,

the ink got dried at times.

I went to the jungle,

in hope of finding themes.

But ran back with heart in mouth,

seeing beasts beyond wildest dreams!!

I tried to portray the one,

whom I loved the most.

But only to discover later,

that "Love's Labour Literally Lost"!!

I ventured into dark night,

to ponder the music that seep.

Woke up the next morning,

after slipping into deep sleep.

I have been to the beach,

to get inspired from the ocean.

But tsunamis haunted my mind,

and now I take precaution.

I plagiarized a few odes,

to make way in a contest.

But could escape the poet's rage,

only after a year's protest.

I just now came to know,

this is not a science of rocket.

By the time one reads this,

I would have become a POET!!
