Poet - III

[arunansu]

“The verse-writer lives by the river,
Your Majesty, in a ramshackle hut.”

“I’m inclined to believe
that such creatures form a rare breed.
Let summons be served to him at once!”

Summons were issued, the ‘creature’, a frail
short individual, was brought before the King:
“So you write poems a lot, don’t you?”

The thinned man, with eyes fixed to nothingness,
meekly replied, “Just as buds bloom into florets,
florets bear fruits, my muse inherently paints
with an untamed brush.”

“You speak well, but let this be known
that henceforth no one in my kingdom
could be allowed to misuse his own life
by scripting valueless rhymes, or influence
others for doing so.”

“Your Lordship, it grieves me to say
that you’re yet to become the absolute ruler
of a poet’s instincts.”

“What will become of your wretched
poetry, if my men behead you
this very moment?”

“That very moment, my blood
would seep beneath the earth and nourish
the flowering shrubs that I’ve planted.”

“Take this ignoble worm out of my sight!”
Imprison him, he mustn’t see sunshine again.”

“My cursed life would merge with soil & ether,
yet these chrysanthemums would remind you
Your Majesty, that they are mere prisoners
in a land where pride slaughters verses.”

Nice feel but do you mean..ether what? Touch the verb listen to it's words
express the angles and asrtal without it you art dead


You have power here use it for you.........get astral............ what you?

Silly dave

Yes, ether, but not the hydrocarbon. Lol. It's "the regions of space beyond the earth's atmosphere; the heavens". Thanks. Smiles.

men beheads = men behead OR man beheads

I appreciate the folklore feel you are attempting here Aru, but wonder if a more contemporary treatment mightn't be possible?
This feels kinda done, y'know?

Very impressed by how you are venturing into different areas lately.

Sorry for the mistake. Since poems are written since ancient ages, one of my poem on poets got to have a old feel. Smiles.

Yes, I've been trying, Brian. It's no more only Tanka and / or haiku.

Hi aru,

This was a bit different. I like the idea, but I'm with brian on this. It feels a bit like someone else's story. Have a go with a monologue with you as the court verse writer, free it a bit.

Thank you

Thanks Brian and Lovely for being here again. Smiles.

Dear Dg,

I understand. Actually it didn't occur to me before. If I add another one in the series, it will be in monologue. Smiles.
