Intricate Words Complicate Poetry I State
I thought only in free verse many write confusing poems,
But, by rhyming also many confuse with verbosity,
That description may be liked by all the great poets,
But, layman may gain nothing as he won't grasp at all,
I mean even fellow poets will find it damn cumbersome,
A poem must have clarity and in a way not complicated,
When tough words are deployed, it loses its purpose,
It is like wearing a very costly makeup by spending
And then covering the face with full mask funnily,
If Shakespeare now is present, he will be baffled,
As thousands of words have been added to English,
It is left to the choice of the poet to choose words,
But, simplicity is like praying to God with deep faith
And it can be done without any ostentatious acts,
I have given it as a poem and never as a comment,
Commenting like this is wrong as it is immoral,
We mustn't even advice to give bitter feelings,
As Henry David Thoreau clearly said long back,
All are marching for the drums that they hear,
So, may God bless all with freedom to write
As per their choice and feel greatly hilarious!
