Big or brief, what is poetry? <br />Poetry is...... <br />Creating beauty out of blemish, <br />Making order out of disorder, <br />Producing meaning out of musical words, <br />Creating Universal truth out of trivialities, <br />Arranging points out of less known facts! <br /> <br />Is poetry just making rhythm and rhyme <br />Without meaning, life, force and taste, <br />Without free flowing musical words, <br />Without words of music, beauty, fun? <br /> <br />Poetry is free flowing river of words <br />With full of images, lively and lovely, <br />Transporting from this world to that world <br />Forgetting himself and readers here! <br /> <br />Just end rhyme is not enough to make it so; <br />Internal rhymes make music in rhythm <br />Making all enjoy music, meaning and ideas! <br /> <br />Poetry is the medium to say complex things <br />Not possible to say in other forms of language, <br />Saying unknown things using known things; <br />It is sound, substance, message and meaning! <br />And many more matters to many men in the world!<br /><br />Ramesh T A<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-big-or-brief-poetry/
