Mea Culpa, but I Plead not Guilty.

Safe at home,
it was an ordinary day.
I was on PoetrySoup,
reading poems, page by page.
And then, the house shook,
I ran outside,
and to my surprise a light,
shining down from the sky,
lifted...

An instrument of beauty,
poetry is art at its best
with its verses of passion
penned with love
in assorted and variegated
metrical composition
with sublime and
aesthetically satisfying flow.

It is a creative exposition 
that unfolds and enlightens
with enchanting constructs 
the demonstrative...

The blue moon crackingly, magnanimously rose,
As he creeped in quietly, repressed — inconspicious!
His eyes gleaming in appatency yet sorely of passion,
Calm are his actions but embedded monstrously of tension. 

Dulcet words escaped his mouth in...

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry."

War Cry

A vicious tussle broke between two foes
the quiet faction firmly stood its ground 
verbose wing dug in heels while braving blows
Both land and sea were numbed with booming sound

The battlefield a mangled, spectral form

The gentle watery flow smashing against the ragged rocks.
The snowcap mountains nestled against the bluest sky
wisps of a soft breeze whispering against the blushing cheek
unanticipatory verbiage impacting emotions

to thine own self be true
to rhyme without...

My veins are the schematics
My conscience the pragmatics
A nuclear weapon that’s omnifarious
Self destruct the one that’s multifarious
Many parts no two the same
Doesn’t mean I’m not painfully plain
Nothing about me is distinctive
Identical and parallel, anatomy’s instinctive

Love me dear, so slowly 
Throughout this life and death
My muse and inspirations 
You are the best parts
Of me and my words. 

I couldn't sew a stitch 
Write a single phrase 
Without it being gone...

Ireland's James Joyce was a wizard with words,
inventing, inverting, morphemes nouns and verbs,
hiding perversion, pornography too,
under a language that only he knew.
Our own times Bob Dylan's a master of rhyme,
who expressed all our hopes, and...

Poets maybe extravagant
Not of money but with words
In a minute they can say thousands word flagrant
But nobody can just understand their world
For poets speak of humour, of pun, and others in instant
With so much, no...

Poetry
A wonder of creativity and innovation
Jungling of words and morphemes
Expression of views and emotions

We praise n sing
We cry and sob
We hallulate and jubilate
From it solace we derived
Our emotions we express
Our inner most thoughts we express
Its...
