He is a poet <br />A poet much misunderstood <br />Or not understood at all <br /> <br />Everyone gathered <br />To offer tributes. <br /> <br />Some said they're choked <br />Some read out from his books <br />Some stood at the podium silently <br />Some subtly made reference <br />To his emotional vagaries <br />And drunken ways <br />But all agreed upon his affection <br />And his humane side <br />For, the donation of vital organs <br />Suddenly put him on a different plain <br />For both friends, enemies and acquaintances <br /> <br />I sat there among the crowd <br />Silently feeling his presence <br />And seeing him attend his own memorial!<br /><br />indira babbellapati<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-at-a-memorial-meeting/
