DOT HP - FIRST POEM

Never really enjoyed reading poems
except the ones which rhymed.

Most of the poems I read were vague
meanings of which were never implied.

I aped my teachers tuitions
only for a score in my test.

Both of my parents loved poems
and were great enthusiasts of poetry.

Until after a few years I learnt
my mother was a wonderful poet.

I could understand her lines
they were life like to me.

I read her lovely lines
For the first time, lines were lucid on the whole.

Reading her poems I realised
not all poems were ambiguous.

Again years rolled
she appeared as the best poet among those i read.

I read and understood them
with her help of course.

But I could never develop interest
in writing any myself.

I loved to talk to myself
but never intended to pen them.

One day my mother asked
why don’t you try writing?

I show no inclination
though i would have loved a shot.

After all I am her daughter
May be I have some of her talents.

But then topic becomes difficult
many thoughts run through my brain.

Days pass I get busy with studies
but the urge to try remains.

At last, this day, this is what it results in
this one is for you Amma.

Hope it’s not that bad
It’s just my beginning.

Right now I have no clue
if ever I will write another.

But there is no reason why I won’t
But now I stop.

I have my records to finish
and to study for my tests.
