The power of Poems.

I grew up loving the poetic forms of literature, admired those who could write verses with ease, placing words deftly to form a fine poem. A poem carries intent, when  it is an inborn talent,  and surprisingly so is the power of poetry. According to the best of poets, it is said that the powers of poetry are, Image, Diction, Voice, Structure and Implication. To write poems, logic and grammar are important. Supporting poetry is essential. They affect all generations and make it a real force to be reckoned with. Poetry inspires. Poetry speaks intimately and exclusively giving an insight to their inner minds, ideas , love and realities of life. The most appealing aspect is that it can be transformed in many ways, and given wings to it musically.

Poetry may not be the obvious way of saying what is to be said, but I would argue that it is an important way of expressing the individuality of voice, joy or pain, and not all can write poems. A poem can take you out of isolation to reach out many, into a shared human experience. The beauty of verses are greater than the beauty of a prose. It is undeniably a power of poetry to learn how one feels, The power of poetry dissolves all barriers and I realized this after I fought cancer through a traumatic phase. A poem can inscribe an individual experience, a time  and place to share a common ground.

Poetry is in reality a life cherishing force. They are not words but the fire of the soul, something that is food for the soul. It has such a healing power, it can bring back life to your soul in a positive way. They are the most captivating way to heal your soul, convey your passions, your emotions and feelings. Words can hurt as well as heal. Poetry is a writing therapy to get the gripes off your mind and feel more open in your heart, mind and soul. Writing poetry can be a simple hobby or a talent;  it is a fact that putting your joys and sorrows  into right words through a poem is not only liberating but also therapeutic and gives rise to a powerful art, a form of literature.

This is my 75th post in my blog this year and I dedicate it to all lovers of poetry;  the two people in my life who took me to the depths of their poems and trusted me with their poems, with my views on it -   Arun M Sivakrishna  and Namitha K.
