You are Not a Gem

Thought of composing a poem

Disguised as Mephistopheles

appeared 'The Poem'.

Proclaimed He! Hold On!!

You are not a Gem

like john Milton

or Pam(Pamela or Virtue Rewarded)

by Samuel Richardson

Perplexed by 'The Poems' vituperation

An illustrious self decided for 

An exact retribution

And 'Me' no less then 'Agamemnon'

Replied! writing is a skill, seeks no permission

Poem! O Poem!! Oh! Poem!!

You know not yourself more excellently

ask 'Them'

Poetry is as easy as stitching hem

Pen is a thimble, letting out an ahem.

To be gem you O! dear 'The poem'

Allow me to groove on

To behold the consonance of composition

Only for you 'The Poem'

Smilingly exclaimed! ' The Poem'

Righteous virtue you hold on in your aim

Go acknowledge me in your creation

And help weave this harmony for the 

coming generation.
