Uplift the soul of Poetry.

I have been a lover of poetry for more than last forty years. But feel sad that poetry has taken a back seat, where reading is concerned. It is true there is a metamorphosis in poetry. Today poetry lovers are trying to revive poetry and bring back that most captivating form of literature back into the limelight. The verses can make you laugh, create a flutter in your heart, pull at the cords, take you on a journey through the verses, express the euphoria of love and passion; it can rhyme and inspire, with a rhythm of colors in the most unique way.

Poetry is a spontaneous flow of powerful feelings, that originates from emotions recollected in tranquility. Wordsworth opines that poetry is a means of gaining perspective on primary experience, powerful emotions can be gathered, then relived, translated and digested in the laboratory of your poem,the mind. There are poems that literally change your life, the way you look at life and listen to things around you.

At the basics of life, poetry makes you think, it opens up your mind to wonder, the astonishing possibilities of language and in a subtle yet very powerful way re-engage your process of thoughts. Poems remind you a lot of things that you otherwise take for granted. They have the power to bring things together to unify that experience as the music of what happens. It makes you dive into its depth and peek behind the words.

I think of the school days, where I had to recite poems, then as a teacher where we had competition for Poetry recitation with dramatization of the theme in it. Poetry is easy to remember because of the rhythm in it. It is an amalgamation of your technique in placing words deftly,  the form of words and the emotions in it. Every poem is a poet's thoughts that is developed in a unique way. It is an imaginative response arranged meaningfully, with a definite sound, magical spells and rhythm depending on the independent modes of the mind.

Revive poetry to make it soar high.
