What Is Poetry? , The Same Old Topic Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Poetry as the images of life,
Thoughts and feelings,
Emotions and sentiments,
Ideas and reflections,
Memoirs and remembrances.

Poetry as myth and mysticism,
Motif and belief,
Knowledge and wisdom,
Meditation and contemplation,
Visionary glide and delving.

Poetry as iconography and iconoclasm,
Philosophy of nihilism and nothingness,
Vacant mind and its brooding,
Thesis and anti-thesis,
Sad and solemn music of humanity.
