gL!MpSe Of A pOEt
Glimpse of a night
portrays a demise
of pride and divine
showcasing betimes
when he was born;
born with a face,
calm and benign
in the hamlet and its sunnier climes
where he grew fourtuneless
under public disgrace
till he witnessed a wailing whine
from a paper with enthralling rhyme
which dismayed his intellect
to reconsider this remarkable case
while he saw a bizarre shine,
felt a tough mental chime
unable to understand the event
he fell down to base
in the mean time
a lady of ninety nine
entered his shop
to buy a pillow lace
she grabbed the paper; that paper with the rhyme
and asked if it was his lines
compiled up so beautifully?
He turned so pale so turned with pace
and said yes its mine
writing dominates my prime time
I love to collect;
collect words from different places
and that makes me shine
but my choice would execute a crime
because I'm poor
and i need to work for daily wages.
Lady replied' " Don't choose, don't be confined,
continue your work but find some time
to bring out your poetic potential."
He could then relate to that case.
Then,
sometimes a lament in the verse,
sometimes an expression of curse,
He became the master of his fate
as he laid his own end
among his rhymes.
and natural traits.
