I AM WAITING FOR POEM

I AM WAITING FOR POEM

We can not find poem
Just by probing for it
It appears all of sudden.
Whenever, I intend to converse
Never get any reasonable query

My query is this
What should a poet ask from poem.
After acquaintance with poem
Is questioning mandatory?
Questioning that what is time by your watch?
Questioning that where are you going and when will be you back?
Questioning that are you taking meals now or late?
Questioning that shall I prepare tea; will you have it?
Questioning that I m sleepy; when will you turn off light?
Questioning that what do you search in these books all time?
Questioning that why you don’t do something to earn money?
Question__question ___question? Left behind are question and counter question

But what can be formed out of question only?
Shall I compose a poem with amalgam of these questions only?
But what to do?
The question that has just arisen in your mind
That is why I have mentioned it top most.
You cannot find poem
Just by probing for it.
It appears suddenly.
The poem is that I m waiting for you poem
If you come across a poem
Convey to her that I m waiting for her.
