I wonder what’s it to be like a poet For I am called one… Is it to connect reality with Tough words that prompts reader Look up the dictionary?
A one which has a rhyme scheme? A one which is moulded to fit the rhyme? That one which leaves reader to comprehend many meanings?
Then why am I called a poet? For I do not follow any of above Ohh yes!! I wonder why use tough words? My lines are simple to comprehend That connects with reader’s life For sure I am told “You wrote what’s in my mind” Isn’t that a great way to express I am worthy Of being a poet?
I pick words apt to describe Things to relate real life Mix it up with emotions and Stuff in and shoot the arrow Straight to heart….
Isn’t that poetry too? To stay in my readers mind… So what wrong in being called a “Poet”?
Laya, i agree with your thoughts. Tough words are not needed to express our feelings and emotions. As you said, like an arrow it should enter in to the hearts of the readers.( This is only my opinion.)
@laya_sarath…..poetry is nothing but an expression of thoughts and feelings in one’s mind…and imagination…just express it……you are a talented poet….keep expressing…regards
If need arises I will order for some more dictionaries…….does not matter what kind of language you use…. Will not mind to hire tutors……but you don’t stop using complicated language……..I know I am becoming emotional but what to do ………I am your fan……..the trade mark for fans is to become emotional for no reason……….and talk nonsense…, just like the way I do now .

You are perfectly right. You have echoed my very thoughts on poem and poets. A poem is outpouring of inner feelings and thoughts and moulded in a scheme that is appealing to the writer (and perhaps the readers too). A poem is still a poem, whether it is written by Shakespeare or the one whose name is unknown, when he pours out his thoughts, beliefs, feelings in a way that touches the hearts of the readers. I agree with you in your opinion on poem and poets. Keep it up.
Sorry death But I’m going to cheat on you With life that is She’s too beautiful With her crisp fresh air days And her sun filled rays In this poem This girl lives for another day I finally wake up
As I leave this world, I worry not. I’ll simply move on to the next. I’ve been to many places will be to many more. What we see is not all there is. Realms upon realms there truly be. Existence
