The poet in me

The poet in me ventured out,

Seeking a poetic identity..

Looking around frantically

A place to share my expressions freely..

The poet in me kept striving 

Till one fine day I stumbled upon

The breathtaking forum Motivational Strips 

I felt very soon like I have made it home. 

The poet in me kept sharing, 

After all my poems had found sweet abode, 

Guidance from a dear sir

And appreciation from fellow talented literates! 

The poet in me kept evolving, 

Inventing and reinventing myself.. 

To be accepted, acknowledged, encouraged, 

To be appreciated and awarded became a goal! 

The poet in me blossomed 

Blooming among all the vibrant flora of this forum 

All the mellifluous music of the poetry that flows here.. 

My honor and privilege to be a flower among a stunning garden. 

The poet in me Congratulates dearest Shiju Sir and my Motivational family 

Three magnificent years down the line, many many lie ahead.. 

What a literary journey we have embarked upon

Lets move ahead.. majestic and stronger than ever before!
