Poet's Death

Early morning A kit of poet pigeons fly In pursuit of metaphors They turn around Swoyambhunath Releasing deep breathe out of anxiety, Facing noble eyes of that stupa They discuss something, Expel feces and glide towards An old monastery where A poet was writing poem, under its silhouette Abruptly the poet gets stormed by the kit of pigeons They furiously plucked Poet's eyes His nose His ears His tongue and His brain Accumulating all those organs They composed a beautiful poem And soared into the sky To recite in front of Gautam Buddha Those pigeons, Who assaulted and killed the poet, were the metaphors inside his own poem, suffocated for ages!

Nadeesh Nadeesh , Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Hi Linda, I surely desire constructive criticism to my creations. That will be more helpful. I usually write in my national language, and now trying to write some in English language too. Thank you so much.
