Spring Flower
I speak of spring and the flowers,
Dancing of the trees, and the birds, singing,
Oh! it is so amusing, it is
Chameleon, I am, I pity myself
Why can't I be child, cry when I cry
Suppressed like the air, I change form
I pity myself, I have grown up
I do not wonder as I say,
Dreams, dreamt, turned to nightmares,
No wonder, I confuse mystery with misery,
Actually, I am root with twisted branches,
Have realized, only the roots don't bear flowers,
I own the same flower pot, I often forget,
I pity myself, I twisted the branches,
I wonder about not much, except about something,
I wonder, if the roots will grow into a spring flower.

Feeling, emotion, thought, idea and reflection get converted into poetry if one has the instincts to write to add to creatively, if one seeks to sketch and draw. Images, thoughts, ideas, memories, remembrances, scenes and sights give an impetus to write. A poem may be about the tombstone of Yeats with the own epitaph of his. A poem may be about Shakespearean heroines or Shakespearean criticism. A poem may be a tribute to Wordsworth, Milton, Shakespeare, Yeats. A poem may be about Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther King. it may be about book-reading.

What makes a poem a poem?
It's when words become your best chum
To take away your pain or boredom
Doesn't matter if it's long or short
Full of imagery or just plain quotes
As long as it speaks to your soul
That's what's most important above all.

Bavaria
Bavaria,
Sweet Bavaria,
Bavarian landscape, scenery,
History, art, culture, society,
Language, tradition,
Dress and cuisine,
The coat of arms,
Bavarian kingdoms, states,
Flags,
A desire to know them,
Know them.
