April is dedicated to you,
Dear Poetry,
This is first day of the cruel month,
When you are going to be toasted for
Your arrival and company on the global front
Through social media like the Facebook,
I wish you happy birthday,
Dear Muse to me and million others,
You have made my existential burden light
Through your sublime presence;
I salute you for uplifting me above the mundane
And showing me the strange realms with balming touch,
And pointing us to the rare vistas and hoary summits
Scaled by the likes of Shakespeare, Keats and Wordsworth;
Your words are cherished by hungry generations that want
To make this planet a better and livable world;
I invoke my goddess to guide me always to inspiring words
And to spread love and tolerance for my sisters and brothers
Of different tongues, faiths and colours!
