POEM

POEM in my opinion...

P - Pouring out the whole of the heart on paper, while writing,
O - Owning the kingdom of the skies,
E - Easing up the body like never before, while reading,
M - Making tears spill out from eyes.

Whether the tears of felicity or woe,
sometimes they begin to flow,
This is what a poem is, in my opinion,
reading it is a way to learn and grow.

I think your lines are true to the flow. That is a sure gift when it comes to versification.

Its what I call "telegraph" style shape poetry, but one of the better examples I've seen. :)

[Devansh Shekhar Shukla]

Thank you so much for your kind words :)

Poetry is primal.. like breath and its intelligible vibrations...pouring tears with words and their sounds, patterns, ever expanding meanings...carrying great poetry in my linguistic brain, just short lines, have soothed my heart fluctuations when they go to the edge...your poem has helped me examine why i love poetry...thank you...

[Devansh Shekhar Shukla]

I am glad you liked it. Thank you!

[Nefertiti Virtudes Ahme..]

WOW. I like the play on the letters 'POEM' as you're writing about the creation of most poems.

[Devansh Shekhar Shukla]

Thank you so much!

The first verse is an "acrostic" -- a form of poetry where you take the first letter of each first word to spell something that the poem is addressing. This poem makes me want to find a way to make BOTH verses part of the acrostic. Excuse me for hijacking your poem, but how about POEM WHIM:

W - Whether the tears of felicity or woe,
H - How emotions begin to flow,
I - It's what a poem is, in my opinion,
M - Magic, a spell to learn and grow.

Back to your poem . . . I love that you write about poems in a way that feel original . . . saying something that hasn't been said this way before. I love that you experiment & play with words, with form, with format, all of it. That's what makes writing fun (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Yes I agree... you really put your heart and soul into writing a poem; you may also shed some tears as you write about something sad in your life, or something happy...you also learn from reading a poem, and the same emotions may besiege you, either, one may shed tears...of sadness or happiness. Nice poem Devanish! Fondly, Betty
