Poetry

What is poetry, I dont know
still I am writing it
not this that I am pretending to be
It comes naturally to me, and
I can concieve it as hen lay eggs
or a woman bore a child,
It is not great, very simple
as ordinary as I am myself
I know my limitations and also
my poetry 's , but how can each
mother raise her child to zenith,
effort is the must, I know as
you can show the path, if not compel
and I have chosen a path which is
Not didactic not philosophical
the path that leads to greatness,
But only it is an emotional way
T
o express human feeling
Which states a sorrow simply
A sorrow, a laughter simply a laughter,
a path that do not take us into
deeper, symbolic or spiritual world
It only surfaces materialistic needs,
Because I belong to a world
Which is really materialistic
And my poetry too.

Hardeep,
Thank you for entering my POETRY contest, and congratulations on placing 2nd overall, with an excellently written poem.
I very much enjoyed the manner in which you've used creative metaphor in expressing how you feel about poetry, your poetry in particular, and how you view it.
In editing your work: Correct punctuation and capitalization greatly effect the mood and mode in which your readers feel and understand your poetry, and always correct any typos, such as the separated "T" and "o". Consider separating the long passage of your poetry into verses, in order to hold your readers' interest, allowing it to be easier to follow in content and thought changes.

Again, "Thank you for entering my contest" and "Congratulations!" for placing 2nd! ⁓ Richard

Honest work here, sometimes it's really not necessary to know things, specially to write what's in your head is best when you don't know much of it...

hey I love it. To me a poem is something that comes from how your feeling usually strong feelings on something.

We are all born to be free and by writing you are subconsciously trying to do that, that is what I believe why most of us write.

On this site poetry is whatever the one posting it thinks it is. To me, if I can pick up my guitar and strum a few chords to it, it's poetry. Is this poetry? Sure, why not. Is what I write poetry? Sometimes what I do is more ranting than poetry. Read Poppy Silver's work. She writes some of the best free verse on the site.
