Notes About The Poem

Poetry

Poetry is a priceless treasure, the most exquisite art
A painting of one’s mood and expressions of the heart
Through creative words, we can graciously share
Our various experiences on murky weather and on fair

It portrays all things we love or hate to see
Abstract and concrete pictures of dreams and reality
From wordsmith or in genuine words flowing out naturally
Poetry provides us the richest experiences vicariously

Poetry delights, inspires or makes us cry
In its intensity where its true essence lies
Whether a reader is carried away or not
Poetry is beyond golden gem from one’s mind and heart

Poetry is more of a gift with its cathartic factor
An excellent counselor and a good doctor
To write with bleeding heart holding our breath and fist
Poetry hugely embraces us as our best therapist

nothing in existence has any meaning until you give it one. some people don't even understand themselves let the meanings they attach to things and then there is you with your clarity so open for all to see. I hope you never lose it

This is the complete definition of poetry, Leonora. Is this your hand? I find it very impressive, it has been used as canvas. Love, Leonora----rajat

Oh, sorry, I've read this lovely comment of yours before my dear friend Rahat; however, I missed to reply here but I hope I was able to get back to you ahead. Thank you, thank you so much for your precious time reading and leaving me your encouraging comments. That hand is not mine my friend. It belongs to someone else, who maybe is also a lover of poetry and an artist. Blessing and big hugs!
