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

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
