Birth of poetry

When few are really happy or frustrated

Yes when few are drowning and gasping for air

May be when some one finds a way out of his troubles

It may be the exact minute of sinking in tenacious mud

The time everyone runs after the so called creativity

It may be the time moon and stars blinking at you

It may be from that most haunting thought of sleepless night

Yes may be when you see the crops of farmer thrashed by storm

May be the paintings on the walls of long hallways of life

The withering and withered lives of many in our common paths

The boy enjoying the fishing with grandpa and his dad

It can be anything even the maple tree branch peaking at your window

A poem is a piece of emotional art and this rises to the occasion. From whence comes the emotion? From anywhere, so long as it is true. Well said!

Thanks a lot for the visit and the review, really liked your review, vishuddha means saint in malayalam

[Vishuddha]

In "Kundalini Yoga" Vishuddha is the fifth chakra, the throat chakra, or wheel of energy, and it is the center of authentic self-expression. This chakra contains a faculty of higher discrimination and here one literally purifies language, knowledge and communication. Vishuddha means “purification” and perhaps your "saint" means one who is pure? I did not take on this name to be pure or saintly. I use it because it reminds me I write because of my need to strengthen my own self-expression and it helps me to be secure with my own words. In my life I am quiet and shy and can never think what to say until the moment is past.

Very informative, we learn something new everyday, thanks a lot for explaining this as every bit of knowledge removes ignorance

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Very nicely written… no doubt poetry is not only a great creative outlet it can be therapeutic for the writer and the reader as well.

A beautiful review with true facts, thanks a lot for the review and the visit, take care

[Lydia Shutter]

This is so true. Any sight, sound, or word can inspire a poet. A sentence in a news article, a line from a newscast, a laugh shared with friends...all are fodder for the creative mind. Glad you wrote this one! Lydi**
