THE POETS OF TODAY

Poetry has become a fashion:
Everyone becomes a poet within a day,
Deep emotions are recollected in a huff,
Parody is learnt in a whiff,

Understanding the message between the lines, is everybody’s cup of tea,
Rhyme and rhythm are learnt in a while,
Diction and style are readymade,
Imagery is not an issue for the modern poets,

Themes are present in plenty only to take,
Copyright and plagiarism are the orders of the day,
Mindless couplets are sung in every party,
Self-publishing poets are on run,

Wasting their precious time is now a fun,
Now, omnipresent is a poet,
I don’t know who is a poet.
