Birth Of A Poem Poem by Bharati Nayak
Birth Of A Poem
Birth of a Poem
Oh Poetry!
From where have you come?
From a small impulse
To a strong emotion
You stay
In the hollow of a heart
Or in the deep
Oceanic depth of mind
Somewhere taking shape
Like a baby
Growing little by little
When full grown
Like the baby can not
Stay in the mother's womb
Kicks for the outlet
Presses forward
To come to light
You take birth from
A fluid existence
To a solid reality
A full form baby
Still with immense possibility
To grow and expand.
With mother's love
And family's care
You become
A wondrous existence
Of this Universe.
wonderfully written about poem- Oceanic depth of mind Some where taking shape Like a baby.... Poem from the unshapely mind to shape alphabet powerless words to powerful inspiration like a green child to a skillful old country to countries continent to continents worlds to the whole universes takes birth step by step time suitably eternally
From a small impulse poetry grows much faster and poetry motivates mind. Growing little by little we grow with much beauty and poetry also grows in mind in this way. With the mother's love child grows and with mind's love poetry too grows. Perception makes us great through poetry. This is an excellent poem very beautifully penned...10
Very nice. I especially like the part about when the young one is the right size, it can no longer stay inside. Marvelous metaphors! No wonder you are #465 on the top 500 poets!

it seems PH has played havoc with the spacing (or i should say 'lack of spacing') between some of the words. but the fine poem has survived admirably and i send to MyPoemList. some favorite parts: " Oceanic depth of mind" & " A full form baby Still with immense possibility" :) bri p.s. I see " " can be part of a " wondrousexistence" ! ! Bri WOULD notice, of course.
