Why I love poetry.....poetry thursday

Another response to the writing prompt by poetry thursday, Why I love poetry along with the previous one posted yesterday.

************************************

Why I love Poetry

This is both and easy or a difficult question to answer. I have always loved poetry as far as I can remember. Before I only read it but now I attempt at writing it. I started with the classic poets which gave me so much pleasure. I could only be in awe of the structured poetry. I have written a few on those lines but I like the freedom of writing unstructured poetry or more liberally known as free verse. I pen down my experiences or just go out into that fantasy land which gives me so much space. Poetry takes me to the realms which can’t be explained in words. One can pack in so much meaning in so few words. Images, metaphors, similes make it very interesting. Poignancy of thoughts and feelings can only be brought out in the form of poetry. By my poetry I have discovered the inherent me.

Saluting the poetic words....an experiment...

words

stir souls,

awakening heart,

striking mind as flaming darts,

assuring us dreaming never dies.


pen

progresses,

lustrously so,

with expressions

free spirited on paper,


music

playing

rhythmatically

lyrics on the back

jumping within my thoughts


world

born anew,

vision of poets'

sparkle in hands,

imaginings ascending to sky.


Poetry-

salute it as

the sun in the night,

fetching with it only light;

illuminating the lane it walks.

Consider this as a poetry thurday prompt.
