I was recently inspired to write a poem.....but then....I thought better not ! Ode to a Donkey A heap of dust, lustreless and pale, you roam the neighborhoods of Kondavidu. Everyone shoos you away. You lie in alleyways and corners and bray. .....By any chance, are you a poet too? Cheaper By The Dozen Five, six, seven, eight, nine, even ten per house in every village: poets are popping up everywhere. As God is my witness, I swear: once a whole country was lucky to have one. <Srinatha> Fault Lines In the olden days, if a text was demanding, the reader felt it was he lacking. These days the poet is to blame. Devious are the ways of this dying age. <Viswanatha Satyanarayan (1976) composed this verse in response to Marxist & other modern critics who accused him of being too opaque>
