When Poetry Haunted Me Poem by Valsa George

Right dear poet- right. spontaneous overflow of emotions recollected in tranquility is a poem.. You are right. Origin of a poem is a strange experience to all poets.

Valsa-ji, I can't say I quite understood this poem. From the comments of others, it sounds contextual to some competition where the soaring dreams of aspiring poets had to crash to the ground when the results were announced. Well, I wasn't around at that time. However, I would say your poem is very powerful and truly depicts a a poet's experience a la Neruda in his poem Poetry, which I translated into our native Malayalam and responding to which you invited me read this poem of yours. I am excerpting Neruda below to contrast him with you: and suddenly I saw the heavens unfastened and open, planets, palpitating plantations, shadow perforated, riddled with arrows, fire and flowers, the winding night, the universe. Valsa George: I reeled round and round Flew up and up Meteors flashed past Stars blinked Larger celestial bodies stood still Strange sounds fleeted past my ears My heart palpitated, Like the rumblings of thunder My eyes glowed like fire balls Great! You go with a 10.

Same is my condition. While spending time with my family, going somewhere by car, a sudden flash, a single line comes in my mind.I become alone then.

How could poetry haunt you as it has ever done the magic of transforming you into a fine interpreter of life in its all angles of presence and recurrence? The transportation of the lady with the magical pen into a world of wider exposure might be the fact as of now. The challenge now lying ahead as one may observe now is the need for looking at the world beyond the spectrum and portraying a few more sketches of things bereft of fantasies and hallucinations of the kind though you are at your best in the writing of the poems of this kind.

Excellent! You were born a poet with all the power vested on you to make the whole world hear your voice and clear without fears! This well crafted and thought provoking write says it all! TALENTED! 10+++ thank you for sharing and for your valuable comment on my poem As A Poet! Keep it up! God Bless You! Romeo-New York City

Your imagination is well expressed in this poem as well as the title of this poem is too apprppriated.here i want to cite some lines which touch me very much....A strange madness crept across my senses / Intoxicated as by an excess dose of ale / Or drunk with the vintage wine / Or by some mystical disengagement.. Marvelous presentation.10

Fine and lofty verse. Poignant reflection crafted in persuasive poetic expressions with literary conviction and artistic brilliance. A remarkable work of art. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem, Prof.

It is amazing to read the beautiful words you put in this write. It is indeed, POETRY.A pure poetic joy. Just like you, Poetry came to my life so sudden. It was after the death of my father. It gave me solace and from that time it has been embedded in me. A superb poem beautifully crafted and executed by a great Poet's Ink. 10 and on to my Poem List.

Most, if not all must have gone through what you had so brilliantly described. Some were stuck in the chasm, while others were lost. Whatever, is was an experience not to be forgotten. Thanks Valsa.

Valsa, I found this poem to be fascinating and riveting. You had me on the edge of my seat. I saw the writer astral travelling to a realm where poets dwelled. For me, it was like a modern day version of William Blake. He's one of my favourites. And now, so are you. Great work of art!
