Ask Marugu Mo



Where do all the great poets go?
If you ask me so, I would say, "I don't know"
There must be some hidden pain
Writing poems relieves their brain
Dear ones are their poems greatest foe

Where do all the great poets go?
Ask the river, ask the melting snow
They may say, " He was just here
With his grief - eyes full of tears"
Writing poems does not pay also

Where do all the great poets go?
Ask the sun, ask the shining rainbow
They may say, " He was just here
Got caught with his write - in fear"
Dear ones are their poems greatest foe

Where do all the great poets go?
Ask the moon, ask Marugu Mo
There are problems in their life
They can't help but face the strife
Writing poems does not pay also

P.S. : Poet Marugu Mo, himself is  a great poet and his name rhymed with my poem nicely. A great poet can only give us some idea where the others have gone, so I have used his name in the title too. My respectful greetings to Poet Marugu Mo and my dedication goes to him.

Thank you, Eve. Before joining Poetry Soup I used write mostly micropoetry and unrhymed verses. But, nowadays I am writing in so many forms and rhymes too that I feel greatly indebted to you all. Loving your company. Hugs, Bobby

Wonderful piece Bobby. I am sure all the poets are gathered together somewhere smiling.

Haha!... I have written it on the basis of my experiences. If my wife sees me counting syllables, she says, " Again....". But, I have to write poetry for her School Magazine and different activities... for my daughter's write up... for felicitations etc. Then its okay. Thanks & Hugs, Bobby
