do not intend to write a poem
Channaveera Kanavi

for his office, he does not feel like undertaking this task. He is not
sufficiently inspired to create a genuine poem.

?
Answer :
In
the poem the poet talks about the art of composing poems. It shows how a poem
takes its birth. A poem can be created in a peaceful atmosphere only. It can
never be composed in a hurry. The poem is also a criticism of the routine type

working hard. His life is going on round and round in circles and seems more
worthless each passing day. He does not feel any sense of achievement from his
monotonous and uninteresting life.
