About the poets

Like us all poets, we are all the same humankind, Our thoughts have no boundaries, no limitations, We may be bound by the different virtues and vices in life, But we all seek the same truth in love and sorrows of our life. Sometimes our poem gets read by a few, sometimes no one cares, Sometimes we get praised by fellow poets, sometimes we get scorned, Sometimes we feel elated with the honors bestowed, sometimes we are left in our lonesome world, But all the time, our mind and pen write the songs of our heart. Of love, so many of us wrote, the saga of Romeo and Juliet and Laila and Majnu, our hearts bled with the sting of cupid arrow; our soul found refuge in the eternal love, In loneliness, our heart was on fire with longings as flame, In desperation love appeared on every drop of our tear drops. Of truth, every poet of every religion and culture wondered, what was it? Some found it in their favorite places, some found it in true love, some found it within themselves, some found it in the beauty of nature, The truth lies in all of us, reveal it through love and compassion. WORDS Words I speak,

Great thoughts dear Jay ji. As long as we are engaged in this creative venture of writing poetry, we forget the external world and the reactions of people to our poetry. That is the greatest advantage of this mind boggling activity. Whatever be the source of inspiration, adhere to it and keep writing.

I enjoyed your poem, Jay, as well as your thoughts about poets and poetry. We seem to be the type of people who understand at a soul level our 'shared humanity' and strive earnestly to express it. We've been given unique hearts and much of what we do we do alone within our hearts and minds. Round of applause for your poem and for all poets! have a splendid evening, Sara

It's always been my belief that if a poet is pleased with his/her word creation, it shouldn't matter if anyone else thinks it's garbage or a masterpiece. Poet, write what your heart and mind dictate.

Wonderful thoughts you have woven into poetry, Jay. We poets all share a common thread, that's for sure.
