Never encourage a poet or a writer.

I warn you all,
for the biggest blunder
which you may think as small.
What is it, you wonder?
read the lines given under.

Never encourage a poet on his/her poems
or a writer on his/her work
you might bewilder and exclaim, why?

For the first intro, they feel shy
and request you to
read the remaining work too
For the second time,
they enquire whether you read
and if so the opinion

For the third time,
your messenger blinks
for they start sending the links
and from then onwards,
you will become a lifelong prey
for they begin to sway
for mails come to stay.

Will anyone dare to encourage
a poet on his/her poems
or a writer on his/her work?

Interesting and humorous :) Its nice to read a poet be a critic of their own work, especially from an upcoming poet. Reflects your humbleness.

You will get what you deserve, just do what you want and what you believe.

Don't get discouraged. Things never go perfectly for anyone in this life, including good intentions to help someone. Sometimes we have to encourage ourselves because others aren't there to do it. (It happens to everybody!!) Keep writing despite the feeling of being deserted.
