Ode on the saddest poems

Like a lady in leisure's carefree feet on a  parlour woman's lap I dipped mine into the streams of Neyyar. Thoughts started to stream  provoking a poem out of place.

I fetched for an ending note not to scream But to cease poetry. 'Today! I can write the...' I called Neruda to Neyyar to fill the rest. "Done with the service" the fish alarmed me with kisses while I winked at the stagnant sky "Mercy Love Compassion" "Mercy Love Compassion" repeated a Saint!
