Love Poet ~ Odd Poet

“Give some respite, oh odd poet” Said a love poet with a smile “Discard all that pain and regret Sufferings and ideals futile Give your readers some amusement Draw them close with the nature’s pull Feed them with beauty’s enchantments And treat them with love, fad and zeal Know oh odd poet, that all the arts Are to amuse but not to chisel The connoisseurs’ delicate hearts Allow them some thrills to revel Be a poet-doctor who can heal Ailing hearts with sweet sonnets Limericks and lyrics beautiful But not with tears, wails and shouts Thought the odd poet, for a while And said, ” Yes! I’m a doctor-poet I care my patients with concern real I strive hard to give right treatment I quite prefer bitter truth pills Oh love poet, as cure permanent To aesthetic morphine to lull My patients into a false comfort
