Priceless – Feelings
_________________________________
Moments spent,
Gazing out at the sky,
The mind, taking a flight,
Of fancy,
Weaving a web,
Of infinite dreams,
Painting a canvas,
In countless colors,
Writing its magnum opus,
Singing, dancing, rejoicing,
Occasionally pausing
Before setting off again,
To explore un-trodden alleyways,
Building castles
In a world,
Here, yet far away

What is
poetry? At the most basic level, poetry is an experience shaped by two elements
of language: one is “sense” and and the other is “sound.” The “sense” of a word
is its meaning. The sound reflects the musical rhythm, Poetry is also visual,
and so it’s a good idea to pay attention to how the words are assembled on the
page. Our imaginations are often stirred by a poem’s visual presentation. Just
like a person, poems can send all kinds of signals with their physical
appearance. Some are like a slick businessman in a suit or a woman in an
evening gown. Their lines are all regularized and divided neatly into even
stanzas. The above poem by honorable Poetess Preeta Chandran is simple in its depiction and theme, Congrats, my applause, Regards -WILLIAMSJI MAVELI
