Oh Lord, have Mercy on Me
From this sea of humanity
when I would seek tranquility
Oh Lord, please have Mercy on me
I pray to be a humble bee
While I flirt around maiden heads
singing songs of your divine grace
to sip their nectar in sheer glee
I pray to be a humble bee
Gliding merry in wind and rain
to scatter potent pollen grain
Oh Lord please have mercy on me
I pray to be a humble bee
Looking up to my next abode
in search of the immortal code
to be what i would love to be
I pray to be a humble bee

you should enter this Raj
It is a really good kyrielle - fits the stipulations
I don't understand why you keep putting yourself down as per your 'last few words'... but I have to tell you that I think it is getting silly, and you need to stop. The fact that you have written a kyrielle, then say what you did, brings out feelings, in me, of impatience with you.

You are an excellent poet you know.
You constantly degrade yourself to no end. You ARE one the "elite" poets at NeoPoet. Your poems receive a healthy dose of attention (no talent poets don't get that), your critiques are taken seriously (no talent poets are not) and your involvement in workshops is always welcome.
I am not impatient with you but I do wish you the piece of mind in knowing these things and wish you were able to stop tearing the poet apart.
He is a precious thing.

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds. Percy Bysshe Shelley

Hi Raj
this was a shear delight to read - I loved the subject and the flow. I thought it very imaginative. :)
Second stanza, first two verses didn't rhyme ( ignore, of course, if you intended it that way )
Love to you :)

to me this is sublime. I agree with everyone here. You're one of the strong poets here and I wouldn't have improved much without your aid and reading your poems. Don't think you're a lesser poet, you are very good in imagery and your works have inspired me to continue to think out of the box to find more variety in my theme selection for my works. I'm still not good in imagery and I wished I have half of your talent in it, my friend. Believe in yourself.

Have you intentionally used the refrain on the third line, Stanza 1?
