Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Sonnet

Is Verse Dying

Captive of creative-writing programs,
It is specialized job of small groups,
Handy to a few these frantic anagrams
Poetry sadly belongs to sub groups.

We have credited professional poets,
Creative writing teachers at all stage
Composing computer- created poems
Creating illusion of the Golden Age.

These professional poets have secured
Their own niches in academic world,
Like jackals, cry over the milk allured
Over dried-up well they uselessly snarled.

Success assured by work quantitative 
Snubbing the work if not qualitative.

Kelly Deschler July 10, 2014 at 1:20 AM I think every poet eventually discovers his or her own personal style, and whose to say what is good or bad poetry. We all do continue to grow with each write, no matter what level we are! Congratulations on your win with this great poem, Dr. Ram!

Richard Lamoureux June 20, 2014 at 7:54 PM You have put a lot of thought to this one, i believe it is a success Dr. Ram, good luck in the contest.

Frederic Parker June 19, 2014 at 12:13 PM Dr Ram as in all things there are currents guiding movements, and some try to fight the direction of the flow, rather to do what is right for oneself and let the chips fall where they fall, change is constant, good travels well through all fields...and bad is just a passing fad....good luck in the contest

Robert Johnson June 19, 2014 at 10:31 AM Whose to say what's held on high. We're all meant to live until we die. Opinions are just prideful pose. So I'll keep writing my rhyming prose. Peace. :) Good luck in P.D.'s contest.
