Anil Deo Poet Free verse

Andrew Marvel, William Blake To Wordsworth

I
 What immortal hand or eye
Could frame mysteries in the sky!

II
When the world is too much with us
 He sends visions, Ramanujans, Christ

III
 Shakespeare had dreams, even awake
When humanity was poor in tea & cake

IV
God gives words to poets: leaves sailing -
To begin - loving a pet, sky - urge growing

Michelle Faulkner February 4, 2022 at 6:13 PM Love the tapestry of poetry you have woven here, if I could add 'Let us go now, you and I/While the evening is spread out against the sky' - T.S. Eliot Anil Deo February 4, 2022 at 6:13 PM I had to say, Viola, Amen!

Harry Horsman February 4, 2022 at 12:28 AM Four wonderful couplets here, Anil. So many poets that inspired the old world, surely they would be of despair today. Words from the almighty are indeed needed now, more than ever.

Valsa George February 3, 2022 at 11:13 PM You have ingeniously put all these great poets in a single frame. Poetry is a divine gift bestowed on us by God. Beautiful presentation, Anil.

Joseph P. DiMino February 3, 2022 at 4:27 PM Very nicely done, Anil. I think, God has given the poet a very special voice, Divine at times; Psalms of Solomon a perfect example: "The Lord is my shepherd..." Thank you my friend. Joe.

Mystic Rose Rose February 3, 2022 at 3:23 PM Shakespeare was always ignited with word even when the world crumbled, he was always humble, and fine with verse, Nicely done Anil, thankyou for sharing :)
