Poetry Is Greatest Asset! Poem by Ramesh T A

Listening to music and songs, we forget the time and the world ever;
For, music absorbs heart, mind and soul whoever one is in the world sure;
But before script of language came into use, Poetry was recited song
As by rhythm and rhymes, Poetic ideas can be remembered by anyone!

Many believe that without them, Poetry is not poetry at all and fix many rules;
Whether rhythm and rhymes are there or not, Poetry has power to take to other world;
Natural Poetry is composed in extempore fashion by great poetic geniuses ever;
The internal music therein move the lines forward with meaning and message!

Modern Pop songs are simplified lyrical poetry only for entertainment;
Philosophic ideas of Poetry make it great as they are eternal and true ever;
Heart's feeling composed into poems by words of mind is Poetry that lasts long;
For, without feeling, creative art cannot be made to move the hearts of all!

Feeling sways hearts but ideas of mind make all think for the better to live life;
Like, Nature, music and love, Poetry is greatest asset humankind to live best life!
