One Fine Line by Rajnish Mishra
One Fine Line Mourn for the departed glory, For poems that left earth Unheard, unsung. Poetry lives in a line, or two, The rest is merely glue, it’s true. A bold lone stroke stands not for art, Nor one fine phrase for a poem. When I see now, what passes for it, It saddens; emboldens me a bit. For who now crafts their one fine line At a time, And then, one more?
