I like the essence of this poem, although repeating: A poet's prize or A poet writes a poem is disconcerting to my mind for some reason. It seems that I'd like to go directly to each reason and not spend time on those few oft repeated words. That's just me though. Would like to thank you for your comment on Musical Pathway, you totally made not only my day, but my entire month with it. I do have a question regarding Mahabharata though. Never heard of him before, ever. In India do you study him in school? How did you learn of him? Tried to look him up, but couldn't figure out where to start, from a learning stand point that is. How would I even begin to compile the poems. I am seriously considering it, yet I am out of my league here - I am a mere poet who writes constantly every day. Knowing nothing of what you've mentioned. Don't know much about navigating these comments and where they're supposed to go yet either. Think I'm writing this in the wrong place and don't know where to write it otherwise. Sorry. Again, I love this poem.

A very nice poem on what a poet's prize is! The first four lines again repeated in the end adds more emphasis! A VERY ELEGANT AND REFINED POEM !
