To the Very Kind World Poetesses

Santosh Kumar Pokharel

Who they are? And say how
do they look?
And did how I did know
those me took
to the yards those are hard
to attain
You may know either or
ask again!
I can tell as smell
them in heart
They do guard all my yard
they start
Blooming buds those stud
in my heart
Their hearts I do hope
won’t revert.
This is time all my rhymes
Have grown weak
Other time I will chime
my lyrics
For the poets, poetesses
those reside
In my heart in my mind
love and guide.
I should meet them someday
or I may
As of now how can vow
or could sway?
Only let and abate
pandemic
We should meet in physique
Safe stay!
I will hug by all heart
and squeeze
Bit of love from them get
and appease
Some are young some are old
but behold
All by heart are genuine
All are gold.
Russians Latinas
Asians
One is French and Turkish
Indians
I do find they are kind
and feel great
I will wait for them; wait!
I will wait.
