HOW DO I WRITE A POEM?

"How do I write a poem?",

A question irritating me from ages,

Never will leave my mind,

Even if my boss had increased my wages...


I sat on my bed,

Thinking how the format would be,

Shall I learn it from Tennyson or Bronte?,

But it does not matter to me...


When I stood at the balcony,

Sensing the warm air,

I thought to write a poem,

Nothing unfair... 


"From the mountains of Himalayas,

Till the seas of the south,

That breeze had returned,

And I felt it in my mouth..."


But there was something wrong,

Not the 'SOUTH',

But how could I,

Feel air in my mouth...


I wrote it again,

Tried to make a clear version,

Didn't understand the words,

Are they in my recognition...


"The breeze from the mountains,

Crashing the rocks' surface,

Coming up to me,

And I felt physical force on my face..."


"How do I write a poem?",

A very confusing tale of mine,

You read and gave reviews,

And I am in cloud nine...
