Is that all well done? Who are you to judge?

[osho]

I am fed up with too many "wows" applause for the song undeserving,
For the deserving one is yet to be written
I am fed up with too many amours and romances
For the real romance is yet to come into being

You have heralded the coming of a lover
But the real lover is yet to be born

You talked about a tragedy that spawned piles of tragic works,
But the truth is hardly there has been a "Meeting" ingraining a "Breakup"

I have seen streams of tear wetting your cheek and salting your saliva
Yet in all their flows I have seen sheer seasonal floods
No shades of emotional stuffs that can carry the flood a little far

I often wonder people pretend to judge
For the one who is on a seat of judgment has never lived by that stuff

All I come upon is a mound of pretensions

Pretension of love, of being loved
Pretension of seeing the steam of life

But to wake up to a roll of smothering smokes
Rising from a smoldering shoot of infernal fire, that is life.

It is your chauvinism, my friends
You want a legion to surround you
To support you and wow you
For your trash which you call poetry
Your poetry cannot be poetry
Just because a few of your legions sang in praise
Through your preset series of understanding
You will get lost in the sands of time
Obliterated non-existentially
This mutual trade of preconditions
Or the tradeoffs thru a give and take truce
Your geocentric and ethnographic bigotries
Your prizes born of treaty
Are not poems
You have just bargained your heart for a set of applauses
How small your self-worth sold at so low bargain
The reader is deceived for loss of his rare temperament and chance

Osho - a poet of renown grade
Scribble immortal verses with delicate sensibilities
For poetry needs a perceptive mind
Your wits are overflowing and your glass of passion is brimful
Scatter them through your undying poems
You do not need a band of appraisers
For you yourself can be a spring of inspiration to conclude in yourself
Fear not my friend, since your voices will echo through our refractive spirits
For you and I are rooted at the same bases though standing in diverse directions

Hard not to take that one personally when I have been doing so much judging. ;)

osho! who are the judges your poem is judging and sentencing!!! woe is me... ! (though I myself like critiques for the learning they offer and for testing my self-confidence or its lack theirof!

Is this a personal attack at other members? Who are you to know the motivation behind another writer? You speak in grandiose, general and absolutes without really knowing anything more than the person who would hold out their hand as you pass them by, begging for a coin. But I suppose you know their mindset as well.

I think your poetry is about you and not others. There is a definite need for you to feel as if you sit at the top of your self-made mountain. So drag others down if you think it will make your little hill higher.

Otherwise, If I am wrong, keep writing in the hopes your poetry craft will develop!

kindest regards

First I want to apologize for all that felt. I had no intention of the likes some of you thought my friends since I have no rivalry or anything like that.

Poetry demands no particular theme and choice of subject. I might have sounded too personal to echo my own chains of thought but the objective was not self-absorbingly personal.

If anybody writes on this forum it is always for his readers or somewhat for publicity.

I am a novice my friends and I take your comments very positively and learn from my mistakes. I have not long ago descended to the world of poetry and I have yet to learn the craft of writing poetry and that is why such blunders might have surfaced through my rashness. Writing poetry is not so easy job and I have read the poems of some of you who have commented here and I have to learn a great deal from you and I take all of your words very positively and will try to write poems impersonally, not extolling my personal self

You're welcome Osho and keep posting. I really do enjoy watching other members develop and am often amazed at their imagination and expression.
