True Pearls of Poetry

When the heart beats in pain The poet comes to life His words seem to rain As tears flows sharp as knife The raging storm complements his strife Destroys all the limit The poet with pain survive Only then true pearls of poetry shine The night with torments gain The light shivers of afterlife The poet with images strain Troubles from all over arrive Simple wishes a fire revive The stars become weak and timid Looks for a reason to be alive Only then true pearls of poetry shine The poet and his enchanting pain Takes a sudden dive When thoughts whirl, swirl and rain And on the pages revive His ideas for coherence strive Emblazon the sky vivid With powerful and forging drive Only then true pearls of poetry shine Poet, you must not deprive This world so helpless and livid Must let your rhymes thrive Only then true pearls of poetry shine

Tahera, all of the emotions that go into writing come through so clearly in this Ballade. You did a remarkable job not only with the form but also with the message. Wishing you success in Catie's contest! (Still working on one for her, but it won't match the beauty in yours.) Love, Carolyn

great soaring write here Tahera, i love the way you have grappled with the your spirit, and the inspiration of poetry, as set against a world of distractions and at times detrimental reality, that can grind at us, and there is the true use of poetry in trancending & at the same time rationalising our sorroundings.

Looks like a good example of a ballade poem. You have made all the pieces of the puzzle fit together nicely.
