A Poem's Language Comments

yes, I believe a good poem writes itself, and we are merely pen and paper....

Wow! This is just beautiful! Yes Sir! The poem has its own language, that speaks volumes. A great poem indeed.

yeah very true for me the poem is the language of my heart -10 anjali

When there is only poetry, When the poet doesn't show, The language spontaneously overflows. CP

In this fine art of poetry, the poet is merely the instrument of his or her own creativity. At its finest the result is the wonderful language of poetry which crosses all boundaries of time and distance. A profound write, Samanyan. Warm regards, Sandra

good thoughts on the poet's art...it's like the art of acting too, isn't it?

Absolutely correct...the poem to speak it's own language.. should be comfortably dealt with good subject....in which you stand out SL...congrats

Yep.Absoultely we write, the poem speaks, sometimes more than than what we thought we wrote. Indeedy.

Well, I sure do understand this one, and I completely agree with it. I wish all of my poems were like that. I would be a happy man. GW62

Yes. A poem has to speak its own language. This is the truth. Whose language? This is the question. Finally speaking, a poem speaks the language of its creator. It is the ability of a poet to let his poem speak its own language. The presentation matters very much. Hundreds of poets can present a particular theme in so many different ways. This means that the theme doesn't speak by itself unless the poet is mindful of its presentation. The poet should be able to present a theme in such a manner that he can universalize the theme more than a mere presentation of an incident. If the poet omits Proper Nouns, this is the first step towards universalizing the theme. The next step is to see the theme in a subjective manner. The poet should become the witness of the undertones of the theme. The real voice of a poem is these undertones. It would carry a clear message to humanity and remind the reader of the eternal currents of life.

yes a poem does speak a language alien to the poet!

a poem has it's own shine dazzling in the page...Image and imagery counts with a fabulous theme........

to this I say.. let the poem make the form and not the form the poem.. I think this is what your poem says.. I love it! !

Any poem that comes from the heart does speak the language of the poem.

so true, in a great writing the reader loses the perception of the writer and is engrossed in the movement and emotion of the words....

you said nothing but the truth....brilliant...10
