Yeats’
"The only thing certain
about us is that we are too  many
 Yes. We are too many, many  with different genres,
avocations, ambitions,  animadversions, critical theories,
more  poets with 
distinctions, publications,
with  a 
motto,  ‘’publish or perish’’.
We   have our own problems, polarised views,
Poets!  The  warring 
world of Land is ours
Where  Imagination 
and aesthetic  beauty 
Propel us, guide us,
infuse enthusiasm in us.
The  land 
we live in , is  a   land of 
Acute   aridity,  
Drought  and  denigration ,
also  overflowing 
mass of  floods.
All  according 
to seasonal  shifts.
We ,the poets
,attribute these 
To Nature’s  Fury  and
 ensemble 
In our  writings and 
poetic  codes. 
We, the poets, quote
lines of   repute
‘’water and water
,everywhere, not a 
Drop ....’’ and so on.
 We propitiate  the  
Rain  God
For  more   and more water.
We , the poets,
congregate, aggregate,
Discuss   and dissect.
There are poetry haters
and 
Dissenters of   writers 
and groups.
Strange paradox, we and
they.
