Poet of the week

Week 73, Poet of the week goes to the extremely talented +Prasanna Kumar for his poem, Indulgence and his continuous support of the POETS community and our wonderful members.

Indulgence.......

meliorate, ameliorate
your sense of indulgence
enhance your diligence
keeping divine
in the mind
for, you miss the chance
of, felicity of bliss
and blessings
amend your ways of
brashly impudence
refine yourself, enrich
your humbleness, for you
never loose anything, in - turn
you get everything in - return
addictive of bad things
you set to loose whole self
takes away your pride
you would be worthy of
contempt to the extent of
disdain
help yourself, improving
your real self, ameliorate
your sense in seeking divine essence
an essence -
that takes you heights in kindness
a best benevolent indulgence
raising yourself in other's service........!
