Flying with a poet

Posted on October 31, 2020 by Reena Saxena

 poetry pours out with a theme
 a poet has something to say
 A format is a voiceless meme
 predefined shapes, but no clay
 
 out of the world, out in the skies
 once upon a dream, inspiration strikes
 on a horse with wings, imagination flies
 of dark ink pages made - burn the psyche
 
 united in spirit for fleeting moments
 unexpectedly, we fly with the poet’s mind
 utterly fascinated, nod in agreement
 unwanted cuts are unwelcome, unkind

 neural pathways in the brain
 now led by stories heard or read
 -nagging logic redirects the train
 narratives change, yarns we unthread…
