The Time keeper was born from his inspiring pen,
He made me spend my Tuesdays with Morrie....
He gave us the first phone call from heaven,
I salute you, sir, for words that create glory !
Next comes a woman, the queen of mystery,
She made me fall in love with a Belgian brain...
And the Mousetrap that did create history,
Madam, my love for you, is pretty insane :)
Next, the man, who , in his village of dreams,
Gave birth to Swami, Nagaraj and the Guide....
You stretched our reading to both the extremes,
Love you, truly ,you’re the nation’s pride !!
To all the pens above, that enrich our lives,
Here are two questions I would ask ;
What exactly do you do when the muse arrives,
Do you wait, or get on with the task ?
What drives you to take the plunge into the pool,
Of words, and weave magic and marvel ?
For writers like you all, your quill is a tool
That etches out the world you unravel !
Without all your words, our world is so dry,
That explains all that I have to say ;
May they make our fancies soar high,
That is what we wish, hope and pray !!

Linking this to 100 Words on Saturday at Write Tribe.
The prompt this weekend is, " Your favourite author and what you’d like to discuss with him or her".
I couldn't identify one favourite ( I know it sounds stupid, still :D ) , so I created a short poem about three authors I love :)
This one is in 'Multiples of 100' format. Three stanzas make a drabble :)
Brilliant sreeja :) Loved this poem :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Swathi :)
DeleteWaiting to read your take !
Oh what an innovative way Sreeja. I had seen the prompt and I am still thinking how do I contain my questions in just 100 words. You did it just so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear.
DeleteHey, spill it out na.....I know you'll come up with something all the more creative !
That was a very creative work! I agree with Swathi when she calls it Brilliant. Our worlds are indeed so dry without their words. I do not know how people who do not read survive!
