Sipra'sDiary: Poem > "ART OF ARTS"

 (  nfsps  Contest 2023)Entry  # 27 

:  “ART Of  ARTS”            

 Let the poetry be pristine and 

 untouched by any  ‘art’  

As itself  is the ‘art of arts’,

 Quintessential  form  of heart.

Art is another form of artificiality:

 alias of adulteration.

Let it sustain to express 

The freedom  of mind without fear 

Not to be bound with superstition,

 rules and regulations.

Let her remain savage 

as wild flowers; not to ornate 

With flowery language or burdened 

With pedantic knowledge.

Just like flowers bloom to spread fragrance ,

Let her spring the message 

Of  truth, beauty and goodness.

 

But who is there in near future 

To worry about the “art of poetry?”………..

In this digital age, as AI is ready 

to step in the literary garden !

Who will appeal or protect  in

 Custody the  “Art” of poetry ?

If the  ‘App’ in brain produce like casino coins 

Poems of love, loss, laughter

From the AI factory; to replace

The Athena’s Eden of literature;

Who cares for creativity? 

What future for ‘imagination’ or Academy  of….poets?...

 

Graveyard is ready, coffin is waiting ………

What   ‘epithet’ will be chosen  

To inscribe on the tombstone ? ................

 

”Step  softly,  a dream lies here!”

                   Or,

"The best is yet to come !....” .........

                  Of course ,

The ‘epithet also has to be ‘borrowed’

  From Cemetery, or factory!!
