THE GENESIS OF A POET

 

DR. NARENDAR SINGH

 

He is born between

the smudge of a type-writer

and sneer of rejection slips

 

from the dust-bin

of ignominy

he shoots like a meteor

to limelight.

from the garbage of rubbish

and rotten scribbling

to superb execution

of immortal poetry

from lonely

wretched living

to clangorous publicity

and thunderous ovation

 

from the morass of

pity and humiliation

to the high pedestal

of glory and renown

 

What a splendid recovery indeed

from the limbo of

cipher and oblivion

to the dizzy heights

of a poet!
