Ode To Poetry

October 13, 2023 by SUMMER LOTUS 1 Comment

( published in The Power of Poetry)

13th Oct 2023. 1 min read

While everything around me renew

They continue to tempt me at every venue

The clothes, the food, the colours

Make my mind boggle

To Spend and  add another object

And expand my already burgeoning closet 

Let me say my peace

It may make many displeased 

A thing that seems so novel

Would become transient and temporal

But Poetry which is the real deal

Especially when written with heart, soul and feel

Poetry brings out the element, 

excellence and the essence of life 

Those who love poetry will visualise, survive and thrive

    This time you really salute poetry with deep respect and admiration .
    As you said, don’t stuff your closet with things that appear to be novel. They are infact transient and temporal.

    Rather stuff it with poems esp
    when written with heart, soul and feel, as you did in all your past cases, which are infact personal testimonies of your life journey and experience, which you kindly share with others for mutual growth and enlightenment .

    Yes, Poetry brings out the element, excellence and the essence of life.
    Those who love poetry will visualise, survive and thrive.

    How true are those beautiful lines of yours above, as you hit the nail on the head.
    Thank you, summer lotus, how aptly you are bestowed with this name, as the lotus flower continues to bloom and bloom.
