Love of poetry.

"Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge - it is as immortal as the heart of man."
— William Wordsworth

One quote and a fact that comes to my mind whenever I read a poem. A verse comes out from the soul, sometimes it comes out from nowhere to haunt the core of your soul. Some poems get etched forever after you read them. Some are written and forgotten, somewhere in your memory but comes out of the blue to the wonderment inside you. But poems take you to those places hidden in the recesses of your soul, that was lost somewhere in the journey of your life. They are immortal. Sometimes it is only through poetry you can emote intensely. It may use condensed or compressed form to convey emotion or ideas so beautifully and something not there in other forms of literature.

Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word usage, and the poetic qualities of the language used. The interactive layering of all these effects to generate meaning in what marks poetry.

The poems of Namitha Ks & Arun M Sivakrishna emotes different feelings of a human mind, heart & soul. For a poetry lover like me they take me to the recesses of my soul, that I thought was lost somewhere in my journey of life.

Their books are available in all online sites.

What makes poetry unique.

Poetry, I believe is the language of the soul. It is a literary work in which the expression of feelings and ideas is given intensity by the use of distinctive style and rhythm, unique to every writer; poems collectively is a genre of literature. It is quality of beauty and intensity of emotion that is regarded as characteristic of poems. Poems are collections of words that express an idea or emotion that is often uses as imagery and metaphor. If you are a poetry lover it is likely you notice that poems come in many, many different forms. As you read and perhaps write your own poems, it is helpful to know the different kinds of poems. There are many different types of poems. The difference between each type is based on the format, rhyme scheme and subject matter. Poems are meant to be heard & read; a language that “drips from the tongue to the soul of the reader” . Only a true poetry lover will pay attention to the sound of language as well as to the meaning of language: and sound, when used intentionally, one which always enhances or reinforces the meaning. Writing poetry is as natural to them as breathing. Poetry (verse) is literature that works through sounds and images, that can be visualized in its real sense. It was originally recited (spoken aloud) to an audience, and its rhythms and sounds affect the meaning of the words. Poetic language is concentrated, because it says a lot in few words and expresses feelings and ideas.
It is worth taking a stroll down the path, the poems of Namitha Ks & Arun M Sivakrishna take us along as you read their book of poems: Silence and sound & Songs of a solitary tree.
