The Mentor

A paradigm of greatness Is dependent on personal assessment It can't be impugned upon A parameter bestowed upon me a person making a choice. Freedom of choice is God given! The criteria of my choice Is based on a logical reason From the generally accepted to specific idiom Personal knowledge of the person is the paramount basis No amount of hearsay, speculation or jaundiced biases A closet whose ajarred door can't be scrutinized. He's my mentor where it touched my heart Where he changed me from better to best Where he imparted me with great virtues Virtues that catapulted me into a pedestal Where he has left a niche into my heart That never can be erased and surpassed Where my feelings, my dealings And my unforgettable experience shall remain As time goes by and as life goes on!

Follow the words of Wordsworth in writing. Poetry is overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility. You may write at the same time write the other types but if you feel happy free verse is the best.Dalila
