Poems are like mirror that reflect the deepest feelings in the most wonderful ways. My confrontation with poem first took place when I had joined school and was amazed at how words could be connected to be sung. That was my nursery experience. Screaming lungs out and trying to be heard more and more and all the while trying to sound better than most others as we would try to match our voices to the rhythm of:
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.
With time I would feel lost in the beautiful picture painted through words by Wordsworth, Keats, Tennyson, Milton and many more.
And then I realized that everyone is a poet. We only need to pen down our feelings.
Though I am no Wordsworth or Keats, I would like to share my feelings with you so that you may feel lost in the picture that I would paint through words and may be one day you will find the poet in you.
