The Scarborough Poetry Club – 9th Anniversary. – By Noor Rahim
The Club reaches its’ meaningful literary evoking ninth successful year
Undoubtedly spreading its’ web of intelligentsia for years to come, no fear
Being steered so aptly and smoothly without malice or prejudice by the Founders
Anna & Jeevan with such finesse and panache; and with due diligence
They have created a reservoir with unlimited catchment areas
For the entrapment and spread of poems & prose of the membership and friends
For the meaningful and thought provoking spread of the contributions
Evoking the mindset of the general literary readership, that follows
They say that – it’s the tiny drops of water that makes a mighty ocean
For the poems you write is akin to the drop of water that conveys your notions
Which the reservoir will collect and distribute to folks of concern
Always remember that each drop of water is essential for living beings’ sustenance
Remember that each cloud has a silver-lining
And that ray brings into the World your beautiful thoughts and feelings
Hence you do sow these droplets for harvesting
And bring out the best in each one’s mindset, that creates a following
As the reservoir fills you elate at all the contributions of your making
And as the reservoir overflows the spread of your contributions will be sparkling
Soon to be followed by an ardent following
And hope that they too will in time will follow your reckoning
Kudos go to the Founders of this “August Body”
And the members who are in mind & thoughts ever ready
To contribute their mite in poem & prose – ever so steady
In strengthening our bonds among us & sharing our thoughts with everybody
