"No words" for Poetry

I want to write a poem,

I realise its been long,

I am trying to pen down points ..

.. but they are all scattered like dropped coins!

I thought let me shake-awake the poet in me-

So I read some of the best poetry ever:

Wordsworth, Blake, Shakespeare, Kipling.

I have nothing left, they have covered everything!


Nature, Women, Society -

Everything stands covered!

Love and pain; Gain and loss;

Kings and kingdoms; Beauty and lust.


If there were a universal box of ideas,

A repository created when the world formed ...

I regret I am born too late;

There seems nothing left for me and the generations to come!
