What Is Poetry?

Poetry is a vast ocean of words.

Poetry is a dream never dreamt of.

It is a store of myriad imaginations.

It can make-believe your illusions.


Poetry is the inner nature of a poet.

Poetry is the untold stories of many.

Poetry can be a fuel to the soul.

Or can be the sole reason for someone to be alive!

Poetry is a deep-rooted passion, an intense urge within,

A song of the heart and a cry of the soul.

Poetry is an one-stop destination to travel around the world.


If you call it intoxicating, it is.

If you name it deceiving, it is.

For poetry can deceive anyone to believe this world to be

A place of euphoria!

But what is the use of living if you know not

How to taste happiness amidst your adversities?


Poetry proves to many as the key to prolonged happiness…

And you are never alone

With poetry in your soul!

*** Poetry is an art and any art is a beauty in itself. Everybody has a poet in them. It just depends on how we realize this hidden treasure in us and that shall make all the difference. To be true, no men can define ‘poetry’ or limit its definition to one fixed statement for the content of ‘poetry’ is varied, vast and open to all kinds of interpretations. For the minds that can think or imagine, for the hearts that can feel and understand and for the hands that can write or make-believe; altogether makes ‘poetry’! We all have got our stories, life experiences, adversities, good times and therefore we all are poets…
