My Indebtedness To Poem Hunter Poem by Valsa George
My Indebtedness To Poem Hunter
Poem Hunter to me is just like a joint family
How by a common bond, here we are strung together
Though sailing in different currents, anchored in remote ports
Distance among us has never been a hitch or a tether
Here we enjoy a warm and genial camaraderie
Often I feel my credit far exceeds my debit
And am weighed down by a heavy sense of debt
I wonder if I will ever be able to repay a small bit
Before I am stamped an insolvent the rest of my life
Let me strive to do some little good while I can
Like a melting candle, let me bring some glow
Before I grow weary and time runs out of my span
Sometimes I feel I am an insidious bed bug
Growing bigger and fatter on others blood
Here when I registered as an artless novice
I was as inane and inexperienced as a kid
As a kite with a piece of broken string
I floated up hither and thither in the skies in vain
You gave me direction, guidance and support
I owe to each one of you for all that I could attain
Your relentless encouragement helps me aim for the heights
Your heart felt blessings give me loads of happiness
Your poems open before me new avenues of thought
Your gracious company creates for me a new ambience
Before my eyes, a hundred smiling faces appear in a row
Some stand out as beacons of radiant light
With words of encouragement, they vanquish all my doubts
Revitalizing my lack luster spirit and leaving it shimmering bright
Through this forum we share our inmost thoughts
How close we feel though never been together
Many have left the scene leaving trails of footprints
And many join fresh to continue the endeavor
Irrespective of creed we are here at art's sacred shrine
‘Poets' we are called and we breathe the scented pride
We stand tall among many others of our species
Let us proclaim aloud our fraternity worldwide!
