A costly social dress.

One by one
In a row.

Finally
What is good poetry
Bad poetry and
Pure poetry?
Beauty
Is the essence of good poetry
Which silently
Yet powerfully
Touches our heart.
Good poetry
Is a jewel
A precious piece of art
Bad poetry
Is none of these
It is just a pebble
Carried on a squeaky cart !
And what is
Pure poetry ?
It is
A fascinating rainbow
Over the gate of times
It is the gong of beauty
Which in the tower of humanity
Forever chimes…
