Mood of the Time

Proof of the pudding for all arts—
Man being narcissist at heart,

Looks for some reflecting mirrors
That feed him with some fond feelers.

A poet too seems not apart,
His pen if plays, plays a small part.

In need of feedback from readers,
Sought with a surfeit of prayers,

For, there are more writers 
It seems than are readers.

Succinctly said! No better reflection than the one that smiles back. Your ending lines are so true as well. Happy Birthday!

Well, I was not sure how this one will be received by the readers. But then poems need not be written only for the readers, thanks for appreciating and wishing me a HB.
