What type of poem am i?

“What type of poem am I?” I am as formless as the clouds, and as elegiac as the silence, in the itinerary of the noise.
By Bhuwan Thapaliya

“What type of poem am I?”

I am as formless as the clouds,

and as elegiac as the silence,

in the itinerary of the noise.

 I am not a classic

written by the author God.

The rhythms of my verses are supplied

by the parable of their tears.

I am not in me,

though I abide within myself.

I am but a color,

whose colors have worn away.

Maybe I was written as

an ethical effect of modern art.

Or maybe I was not written

but just replicated from the lives of others.

 Is it true that a poem cannot read anyone?

I loathe the way they recite me,

pretending to understand me.

I am only a drop of verse.
