Poet's Sleep, 1989, by Chang Houg Ahn
Hey Poet, Don’t sleep!
You’ve tones of stories to weave;
Magical and rhythmic.
Cos’ if you sleep,
They’ll throw stones;
Make you weep.
Those sculls are real!
They’re characters of poems,
You’ve weaved!

The skulls are real and characters of poems.........
ReplyDeleteWhat an in-depth thinking , Nandini.
For every poet his characters are real... And they might die and turn into skulls of dead if not nurtured. Beautiful write.
