Readers often complain that my

Poems  lack poetic look, but rather

Every line, stanza, and verse I write is a tribute to life.

I got to work on a poem in the moonlight. I made notes on a piece of paper of everything that came to me. My cluttered mind was not satisfied, though. The paper was shredded by me. however, I was drawn to a single line on a piece of shredded paper that read as follows:
"Poetry has a consciousness of its own.
It will become apparent "
I zealously resumed writing.
Eshwara Prasad Dec 2022
Where has everyone gone?
Nobody I know is visible here.
Will at least a few return?
What happens if none do?
Can I spend a long time here by myself?
Will it be worthwhile, if at all.
I want to remain because I need to motivate them to return, regardless of what happens.
Do I have a chance of success?
Well, I'm clueless right now, but I'm going to stay here to be available to others.
Eshwara Prasad Mar 2023
Nothing to believe in.
Everything appears fake.
Realism and faith are necessary for poetry writing.
Can't escape poetry, though; writing poetry is the breath of my soul.

Language is the vehicle of a culture.

Death of a language signals the death of a culture.

How many cultures have met their end by the invasion of domominant languages is anybody's guess.

Only native poets and writers can rescue their culture from destruction by dominant and invasive foreign languages.

Poets are the soul of a culture and its language.

When the Poet in me goes
on the prowl,
Words become prey!

You are priceless!
