You would have read the lines of T S Eliot - 'Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, But an escape from emotion; It is not the expression of personality, But an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions Know what it means to want to escape from these things.' The above lines describe both poerty and poet. So is your poem - which talked about common feelings of all of us. Nice one... Thank you, dear poet.
O you dear dame la belle, Poets’ tools you use so well, Their design in you I smell, On your excellence I yell*! Ivory towers the poets select, In tranquility emotions recollect, On incongruities of life reflect, From impending disasters protect. Pleasure and pain they introspect And a worthy life style suggest How to make our life a jest? So as our life becomes a fest. Perfect lines and perfect rhymes, Become the life’s real enzymes. * in joy
Poets sure have an insight and are the best users of the language, they are sensitive about pains and happiness and also about words….the poem is truly poetic straight from the heart of a poet whose sensibility narrated through simplest tools words…and here your words are magical for they generate pleasure. Thank you so much for this poem.
Perfect lines, perfect rhymes, Rani, with no tools. I agree, some fools call poets fools or babes-in-the-wood :) ...funny when the same fools fall in love and start suddenly think in poems :)
As poets might be fools, i whole heartedly disagree with that statement. It takes a bigger fool to deny his own defective DNA. But- alas-i am no fool but a gifted poet who blast's this hypothesis. Great poem. God bless ll poets and readers alike-MJG.
Very good work Rani this is a very well written poem you do have a way with words 10 out of 10
Goodf write Rani I like to think of tht poet as the answer to the question of life the answer might not be right for everyone but it will strike a nerve with someone top marks Chris x
