Short Poem

Short Poem

P K Routray

To be clear

to my reader dear

and to leave no ambiguity

use I no words with metaphoric beauty.

maybe I lack that poetic acumen

nor can my dull skull search a befitting gem.

Afraid I am lest my poetic dog

becomes a rat in the misty of literary fog

instead of becoming faithful pet to master

loots grains and in master’s closet cause disaster.

Hence my poems become long.

Put I sincere effort to carry readers all along.

But fail I

as long poem requires patience high

along with time in plenty

but both at present day are scarce and scanty.

To appeal the present day reader

like cricket from test match of five days to limited twenty over

I shall try to express myself in poem short

In open this is my prayer to god to bless me and readers to support.
