Except to accept
How do you know what you are?
What kind of articles you write and post from far?
How do readers react to it and send comments?
One can not imagine really until some comments are sent
Poets are generally wedded to imagery circle
Some of them are flamboyant but really struggle
Write about anything under the sky with solution
Even talk about sprit that is needed for revolution
But who has got time to read?
Especially to retain and stress the head
Many poets find the circle and get through
Others merely struggle to prove true
What is there to rejoice?
If readers express no choice
Come with no criticism or feedback
Then so much can be considered at stake
I complaint nothing about attitude
Feed back has tremendous magnitude
It can build you over night
Or throw into oblivion straight
“Some one advised me to concentrate on writing”
Leave aside the idea pf others commenting
They may be reading but fail to respond
“Like or dislike” may really not correspond
I have yet to learn human psychology
To rejoice at happy response and at set back gloomy
What to do with such feeling when emerge?
Except to accept general views and surge
