Wished to be a follower

Of Shakespeare

But shaken

Having seen the Sphere.

 

Wished to follow

William Wordsworth

But could not keep

Neither words nor remained worth.

 

Tried to follow Byron

To acknowledge the ray-on

But only remained bare

To be inside the bar-on.

 

Tried to follow

William Long Fellow

Rather remained long away

Didn’t remembered for long nor follow.

 

 

When success

Kissed their feet

Failure hammered me

To tilt.

 

History adorned them

With golden letters

But neither could I add

Nor I could reach near.

 

All they won

And remained renowned poet(s)

But I failed

To face the ignominious fate.
