I'M NOT A POET

-

I'm not a poet.
But still a little persona in poetry
Learning to evoke meanings
In addition to rhythmic language

I'm not a poet
As my poems never evolve
Folk songs as the Chinese Shijing
Not even scribbling like Aristotle rhetorics.

I'm not a poet
Just as my poems still lack
Aesthetic and rhythmic qualities
As with William Shakespeare, Robert Frost
And Gabriel Okara of Nigeria.

I'm not a poet
But just conveying my inner thoughts
To reflect and correct humanity
Towards the shore of negativity.

No doubt we've been blessed with the presence of Ramadan — in all honesty, all we need now is to imbibe his teachings and seek Allah's help to alleviate our fears and distress from the shackles of the pandemic. Hence, even amidst the lockdown and quarantine

WHAT IF? What if the tick - tock of the clock refuses to swing it's pendulum & breath stop to ripple in respire? What if the gleaming noon cease to reap light & the sparkling sunshine of the moonlight ceased to emit it's luminance at dawn? What if the stars of luminous body — full of warm sunlight in dense darkness toss the hurricane; sob, revenge & tragedy? What if the mesmerizing moment turns the pillory of mystery haunting the value of our history? We are all end product of time Under the weight of illusion - Dawn, until breathe is shortened. — visualize & explore time! — AfeezWrites.
