Addicted To Poetry

An art, be it acquired or simply hereditary,
Putting vivid thoughts into exquisite words,
Magician's tricky stick, poet's addiction is poetry,
Cultivated experiences of heartfelt sweet weirds,
Music of life, unsung songs, skill of warriors' swords !

I wonder how many of those unsung songs would remain unheard, if not for poetry... I enjoyed reading this expressive piece, Dr. Upma. I recall it being an entry into one of my first contests... Congrats on your win! Well done!
