What Is Poetry? Poem by Ashika Murali Acharya

What Is Poetry?

Rating: 4.3


What is poetry?
Sometime I ponder…
Is it a quest?
Or a reason?
A statement?
Or A letter?
A rhyme?
Or A picture?
A conversation?
Or An incident?
A lifestyle?
Orjust any free style? ?
We make it in our own minds.

Hi Ashika, Poetry is the essence of everything you have perceived about it. But I consider it as a dialogue with God. A revelation. Nothing short of Apocalypse.....

I like the idea that it is a revelation- a dialogue with the God. Thanks for your time and comment

They say, in prehistoric times man learned to sing before he could talk, poetry came before prose, when there were no rules of poetry, nor grammar, no nothing, just a natural flow and spontaneous expression. Is modern poetry going back to this? i don't know. Edward Kofi Louis said, ' Poetry is the way of life'. Kostas Lagos said, 'all of the above'. And Bernard Assunction, 'your guess is as good as mine.
