Thoughts On Poetry

To call it a poem and to pen it in a baroque form and style 
        is to abuse carte blanche to express and bring forth a reader’s bile;
        avant-garde works that break traditions may appeal for a while
        but if its sole aim is to create an anomaly it may find home in a junk pile.

        Emotion and Experience that gets its bona fide expressions born
        in a poem fresh are meant not to give a déjà vu feel all over again;
        may be this is a lone voice of a dilettante poet unknown
        unable to write with such élan that it is not poem high-flown;
        but I am sure this is not a cacophony of words thrown
        to get out of my ennui, so here are my thoughts on poetry shown.
