Trying for Poetic licence..

Poems...self proclaimed poets...!! aaargh....they are everywhere in blogspot.Any desi blog you click and voila..!! Poems and poets screaming about everything from love to politics,war and even inanimate objects.War...that seems to be the "in" theme to write about.Its not that i hate poetry,actually i enjoy poems.Its just that every time i see a blog dedicated to poems it kinda makes me feel bad that i have not tried it..yet... :D


So here goes ..

MY FIRST POEM


With the cursor blinking and my eyes twinkling ,

I stared into the screen actually blinking,

Disgusted that i dont have any inkling

towards writing poetry...


Jesus Christ..i will stop..i am pathetic at this...and my skill level at poetry is on par to that of a retarded chimpanzee.I accept defeat and concede that poets are truly great and it requires lots of skill to write poetry.

Incidentally, a poem by T.S Elliot is what made me start this blog..Probably i will give it a better attempt next time or mooch of a poem from the Web and pass it off as mine ... ;)
