(What modern poetry is for me)

Welcome to the family of budding poets, who pen passion and
meaning or anything life holds for them. Enjoy. Buds will sprout
and blossom over time. No buts involved. ‘Only’ your words.

For me Modern Poetry Means:

Modern: Mind’s Omen Diversely Emblazing Radical Nexus
Poetry: Pen’s Odds/Evens Testing Rebirthed Ying-yang
Means: Mindful Emotion Ascribing Natural Sense
(Acrostic)

(Ten tips for budding poets)

The most difficult task in writing poetry is actually starting
to write it. Let your pen flow or your keyboard rattle.

Whatever you scribe is your poetry. Fantasy or reality. It is yours
to own, not for others to pick apart. Find yourself and explore.

Have fun, amuse yourself. To muse is to fully absorb yourself in
thoughts and emotions. Enter the world of marvelous wonderment.

Poetry is a personal matter. Do not be shy with yourself. Share it or
not. Do not be intimidated. You can do whatever you want to with it.

Anything goes. Life is poetry just like any other form of art. 
Open your senses. Be You. There is no ‘common’ sense.

What comes to your mind can be voiced. There is no good or
bad poetry. Restrictions at the outset can shackle and oppress you.

Poetry and its forms are shaped by history and culture. But, there is 
no dictate, canon or official decree. Forms help, but they may stifle.

Ideas, history, philosophy, politics? Friendship or love? A little
flower, a cloud in the sky, a mess on the road? Or simply what 
happens to you just at the moment is your poetry.

Emotions makes passionate poetry. Good or bad moods, empathy 
and blustering jubilance are the poet’s best friends. Bring a smile
to your face or a frown of reflection. Most of all be true to yourself.

Do you want to publish? Do not be discouraged. Not everyone wins
glorious prizes and accolades. Your poetry might be the best. For you
and to you. That is what matters. You could also join a kind writers’
group for advice and sharing and for constructive critique. Online
forums like poetry soup can be very rewarding.


(What poetry has brought to my life)

Poetry has allowed me to find my voice. It enabled me to find a new
focus and outlook, both rationally and emotionally. It, helped me to
deal with and share depressive moods and views on the world.

Normality of mental illness. Harmony and ambivalence. Spirituality.
Love. Societal injustices. Historical reflection. Philosophy.

(My Literary Background)

I am who I am and write what I like. I used to write prescriptions as a
a doctor. ‘Personal Poems for Passionate People’ is my first book. An
autobiographical novel ‘Journeys of a Normal Madman’ is ready for
editing now. Currently I work on a sequel and on a book on depression,
called ‘This is not a Self-Help book’. My writing changes and so do I.
