A Poem Shouldn't Be A Riddle

Rating: 5.0


A POEM SHOULDN'T BE A RIDDLE

The truth is, do in the season;
Various farming and plantation.
Not every month but once in a year;
When conditions and climate favor!

In the history, many wrote riddle;
They were not understandable!
Still, they were liked by elite people;
Horses were found in the cloud by all!

I even don't understand their poems;
Elites approved their ignorant games!
Falsely regarded as poets worldwide;
Without constructing rhymes, they died!

Now, look! I have a different style;
To understand, none walks over a mile!
No hardship and very simple;
Because, a poem shouldn't be a riddle!

A poem shouldn't be made in a laboratory;
A poem should be natural, ordinary!
It is, what a poet sees what a poet writes;
No need to push readers for fights!

The truth is, do in the season;
With right farming and plantation.
To write, don't linger the entire year;
Write when condition and climate favor!

I even don't understand their poems;
Elites approved their ignorant games!
They are regarded as poets worldwide;
Readers are real thinkers to guide!

A poem should be obvious like a season;
Readers should be aware of cultivation.
A poet cannot be a rocket scientist;
Very simple, soothing and naturalist!

Yes, I agree, a poem should not be a riddle, nor should there be deliberate confusion with missing punctuation, puns galore, unless, unless both the meanings are relevant. Otherwise, as the poet said a horses will be found in the cloud. A poem should be obvious like a season. well-said, well-writ.
