sreedevi sadasivan - Dirty Poet

How do you write a poem?
Capture that teasing inspiration.
Make it dance inside your head
and in sudden burst of rage
pen it down,
like heavy downpour
Clean and fast
smooth and gay.
But i am the dirty one.
unlike the natural,
i write and rub
tear and stop.
look up and change the words.
I fret and tire
painfuly,
like giving birth
but lacking that moment
of divine happiness..
when you feel your baby in your arms,
coz somwhere in all my fuzz and measuring,
i loose my moment of birth
and I wonder
Am I wrting a poem after all?
