Story of Poets!

by T. A. Ramesh

Book publishers too are businessmen;
They don't easily take up for publication
The book by an author not so popular!

That too poetry book means no market
They believe and never think of publishing
Any poet's work even in dreams ever!

However, publishers flourish on authors
With skills ever potential to create wonders
And authors live in the hearts of readers!

Publishers depend on authors ever and
Authors depend on readers for survival
For sales of books forever in the market!

Publishers depend on reviews and also
Advertisements forever to boost market
For the book by a potential author......!

Naturally publishers exploit authors
And authors go by the words of publishers
Minding their writing works forever!

It is rare a poet's work is taken up
For publication by a reputed company
And the publisher's life lies on steadiness!

If anything goes wrong, publisher's nowhere
And poet will be in soup sans future forever;
This is the story of poets and poetry in world!
