What is poetry to me

What is poetry? You ask what it means to me.

Well, to me it’s more than art, religion or philosophy.

It’s a source of feelings, deep emotions, you see;

Captured within the beautiful bondage of sensitivity.

 

It’s a language of the heart, a song of the soul,

And creative expression is its sole goal.

It’s understanding that word, which is often left unsaid

It’s an emotion which is best understood when read.

 

It is that uplifting force that gives wings to my thoughts.

It helps them break free of the shackles and knots.

The knots that cloud the thinking, restrict my pen

Poetry transcends above all, always; now and then.

About Sonal Singh

I believe that life is a repertoire of anecdotes. The various situations that we encounter, the many incidents of every day, the people we meet, our conversations with them; all make life a melange of tales. And, that is what I attempt to capture through my writing. My cooking is no different! It reflects my love for travel and my love for innovation. The kitchen is my happy place. So, even though by vocation I am a recruiter (www.rianplacements.com), by passion I am a writer, home chef and a hodophile.
