Some lines of my poetry:
Let All My Creation Perish
If I don't get hurt in your sufferings
if in human atrocities
and genocide I don't get stirred up
then let all my creation perish here.
If through the touch of your heart's fire
and creation
Rain does not fall
from my poetry
Then let all my creation perish here.
lf I fail to laugh
If the light of the night
Doesn't wake up from me within
And I fail to draw pictures
Mixing with serenity of dawn
Then let all my creation perish here
If I fail to bow down before the feet of the green
if my lips do not tremble seeing the smiles of a naive
if while breaking myself
Words stay suppressed in incensement
Then let all my creation perish here.
Poetry always comes from the heart spontaniously.
poet cannot be made,poet is born.
Good poetry always conveys the naked truth and beauty of human mind
and envionirment .The ultimate goal pf poetry is to inspire and arouse the reader
to a highest level for better life.Inspite of all social limitation and boundaries
poetry still tells the truth.
According to the critic Coleridge, prose is "words in their best order," while poetry is "the best words in their best order.
A good poem surprises your senses, shakes you awake, stirs your emotions, and startles your imagination. Each poem is an act of discovery. Poetry helps us widen our vision and our hearts.
Joan Bransfield Graham. Splish Splash. Houghton Mifflin, 1994. Flicker Flash. Houghton Mifflin, 1999.
A good poem awakens the senses, allowing me to see, touch, experience something in a powerful way.
A good poem makes the ordinary and familiar seem extraordinary.
Michele Coppola, editor, Dutton Books.
A good poem must be well written with a concise and accurate use of language.
A good poem should be able to lift the reader out of the ordinary and give glimpses of a more illumining reality.Good poetry is not an argument-it has no specific rules but convinces the
reader through his use of words with emotional inderstamding of the word order or position.
The great poet write in such a way as if it is the best word order to express the beauty.
A good poem is a blind date with enchantment.
Above all, no matter what its subject matter,
it must possess perfect verbs and no superfluous
words. It must be an antidote to indifference.
The acid test is that you want to read it time and
time again, and not only to yourself. A good poem
begs to be shared with others.
J.Patrick Lewis. Freedom Like Sunlight: Praisesongs for Black Americans.
When I think of a good poem :
Many things come to mind but a few specifically: A good poem makes you feel like you've been there before, or want to go. A good poem takes you to the city, to the sea, to the heart of any and all matters; you see it, taste it, belong to it. A good poem is a menagerie of craft; a spinning of sound, word choice, alliteration, rhythm and often rhyme. A good poem is the arrangement of enchantment, or as J. Patrick Lewis says, a blind date with enchantment.
Rebecca Kai Dotlich. Lemonade Sun and Other Summer Poems.
A good poem is like medicine. It can be made up of almost anything, but only when its ingredients are put together in the right proportionsneither too much nor too littlecan it affect your life.
Taking that medicine analogy even further, just a little dose of good poetry is sometimes all you need to be helped and even healed.
This, of course, ties into some very old ideas. My Abenaki ancestors said that words have power, that a song can be medicine, can restore balance, can bring back joy after sorrow. Words of power make things happen. Good poems touch that sort of power.
Joseph Bruchac. No Borders.
THis is age of information,take the advantage of endless rich resources around you by emmercing your self in poems.
n the same way that you can't be a good writer if you're not a wide reader, you can't be your best as a poet if you don't expose yourself to the variety of poems and creative writing around you
on web sites.
finally some one rightly says that poetry is a cornerstone of civilisation.or
in my words poetry is emotional foundation of civilisation.
So write poetry regularly what ever comes in your mind,join poetry club,
make poetry community for your self and for other s also.
