Poetry As Written Words, Poetry As Spoken Words Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Poetry is written words
As write they,
Put down on paper,
Scribble and pen down
And poems come
In the form of letters and sentences
And stanzas.

Poetry is spoken words
As it is said,
Not sung now-a-days
As they used to do in the past
The bards and folk poets
Tagging and rhyming.

Today the non-singers are writing,
There was a time of singers mainly,
I mean the reciters and rhymers,
Reading poetry rhythmically,
Lyrically and emotionally,
But today many recite it not
As they write in hiding.
