“Whatever I am”
Written for Dverse Poetics.
Whatever I am
I am the one,
like me in the world
you will find none,
I will not pray
so that you will like me,
will go out
and ask for coffee,
Remember the way
I am and will be ever
you will see my love
About the Poem:
First Stanza is rhymed verse and second stanza is haiku.
Would that you’ve enjoyed the attitude of lover……comments please










A nice mixture of free form!
Thank you
Really loved the haiku finish. Those little ones can be darn difficult…played with them in my own, but don’t think I matched the seamless transition.
Thanks Tashtoo…
Very clever, especially the haiku, liked.
Thanks st3v3piper…
Nicely done. I always enjoy poems about love.

Profound… and you got me at “ask for coffee”! I didn’t expect that, and I love to be surprised!
Ohh thanks hiroshimem…
This has a poignancy that tugs at the heart and I like it very much and I will try to remember the way you are, I will …

Thanks for remembering me whatever I am…
I like. I really like. The combo was kool and loved the voice and flow. We are our love. Nice concept.
Thanks Henry clemmons…
Interesting…and quite profound. Lovely job!
Thanks pandamonium cat…
I suppose this is everyone’s prayer, but more beautifully penned than the norm.
People don’t have to change themself according to their love….thanks!
Nikhil – neatly done. Free verse, to set it apart from prose, needs that underlying poetic structure – rhyme, meter, syllabication, linevreaks – and then it flies.
Let me know, have I followed your rules?
You’ve hit the essence of it, using formal techniques – the rhymed first half and haiku second half – as the structural underpinning of a free verse poem.
Thanks….it means, I followed your rules….
and now nikhil will write a poem for me!
Are you serious?
Yeah!! Why would i be kidding?
Ok then you have to wait…..maybe 1 year…lolz
‘coz I am going to study hard for 12th. Will be back after one year or maybe sooner than that.
Nice take on the poetic forms ~ Maybe its me, but the attitude of the lover is not so charming, though I like the message of acceptance ~
Thanks Heaven…..and I didn’t made the attitude of lover as romantic and charming ‘coz if I will make that then the lover will be caught under the girl’s net and forget his identity and whatever he is.
smiles…if someone really loves, the other will feel it
Ya….I agree….
