The Vintage of Poetry

K. V. Ramana Rao

THE VINTAGE OF POETRY
(“All that is worth-remembering of life is the poetry of it” – Hazlitt.)

Life’s unheard melodies, its long lost mornings,
Sentiments, “old unhappy far-off things”,
Misssed paths, wasted hours, withered lips, quelled hopes,
These sweetnesses dropping down Time’s mountain slopes­–

They are life’s sweet stirring vintage of poetry,
They animate our life’s life-long puppetry,
Poetry is dreams dressed in the Muse’s harmony.
It shows how life’s cup is brimful with hemlock and honey.
