being a poet,
I walk though the blade edge
separating sanity and insanity.
the most lucid things
I find, are abnormal
in some other set of eyes...
that's the cruel face of life...
but, sometimes I doubt:
is poetry also cruel?
poetry is the manifestation of literary art/literacy art....... poem/poetry is life of many and it is the breath of many...... a poem never never cruel ofcourse the way it was......... when we accept joyous moods in poem let we accept melancholy too.... but not cruel.............. well penned....... see my 10++
Poetry is a language that just reflects what is within you, you can calculate the rest and loo, you have the answer to your question.
Satire can be cruel. But, in general, I would not think of poetry as cruel. Very thought provoking as always, Premji. You have a fascinating mind. Always your friend, Sandra
an important question..yes i think...some of the poets are cruel.......i have to think about that as it is a touching subject for me..and for today iam feeling on that edge, to stand there so still so balanced till that edge carry me on that comforting hands..there i have chosen to be..a cruel universe is the poet one..it is not for fun..it is a place for the tears for the needy and who care..it is a place where we share a part of us, it the place for who dare..........
hop skip and dance on the edge sadly peek both sides of the wedge look and feel for all across the hedge in your words rests a sacred pledge thats how i see it very nice lines there cheers
I wonder, why you ask, 'is poetry also cruel? ' Please read my poem, 'I wonder still', to read the rest. Yes, Prem, as always you've inspired me again. Leena
