THE AIM OF POETRY

It makes no difference

Whether it is poet freak or Hello poetry

The sites are different

The loopholes are quite apparent

Human psyche is the same

There may be only a change in name

 

Good poets are every where respected

Fake poets are easily detected

Great poets are always adored

Eternal poets are highly revered

 

If writing poetry becomes a poet’s obsession

He tries his best to achieve perfection

The main aim of poetry is to please

Our tension it will soon release

 

The aim of a great poet is to instruct

But every poet’s intention is to construct

The platform for comarderie

Writing poetry is not a reverie

 

Poetry consoles, delights

Instructs, pleases, and relieves

Even our greatest psychic pain

Writing or reading poetry is a spiritual gain
