Mother nature's Cry

 

 

As the machines roar louder like thunders and  

the skies turn dark with smoke,

have we stopped to ask,

what about the animals?

what about mother nature?

This is a letter from the reminder

 

When stars in the sky dim 

in the chill of a cold night,

and the dew, the breath of greens  dries,

the tears of a vine

  ___bitter than fermented vinegar,

dread the evaporating soil

the loam, sand and clay.

 

From O₂ to the Ozone

CO, CO₂, Ozone

over and over again,

do you feel the pain?

But I hear Mother Nature crying,

" What about the animals?,

   What about the chirping angels?,

    What about mother nature?"

Memories Of You

today I sat lonely on the mat

our old ragged place

where we learnt to love

and never let go

where our beautiful souls

learnt to embrace

the eternity of love

the thing we called ours

on this torn mat

facing the beach, —

the sand ourfeet used to know

pictures of you stillroam

ravaging my thoughts.

Here on this mat

our souls learnt to make

stronger promises

So did our eyes —

learnt to deny what we say

our ears deaf to the core

and our hearts learnt to betray

Oh! Dear these memories

all the stories we wrote together

consume every bit of the fragments

of my broken heart

these memories of you

lingering my scar-full heart.

Do You Wander Enough?

Do you ever wander—

about how love destroys us,

eats us from the inside,

leaving us numb to the core?

Our eyes still see the light,

the sparks that dance in the moon

and her silver-lit stars,

but not in the eyes we once sat by the shore

and admired in deep silent wonder.

Our hollow noses catch the scent

carried by the restless wind,

but not the fragrance of clothes we once wore,

were hugs painted the essence

of our bonded souls.

Do you ever wander—

how love steals our thoughts,

conquers our hearts,

and builds within them

a home of fleeting joy?

How it robs us of our tears,

our fears,

and those we hold most dear?

Do you ever wander?

The Definition of Poetry by Great Writers

Throughout human history, the definition of poetry has been eloquently explicated by great writers. It is not a fixed concept but a living, breathing art that shifts with time, emotion, and perspective. Yet, some of the greatest minds in literature have attempted to grasp its essence in the following ways:

1. William Wordsworth

For Wordsworth, poetry sprang from the heart. He described it as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings. It takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility."
In his view, poetry begins in the heat of emotion but takes shape in the calm that follows—when the soul reflects and finds clarity. His poetry was grounded in nature and human experience, where even the ordinary could become extraordinary through quiet contemplation.

2. Percy Bysshe Shelley

Shelley viewed poetry as a force of revelation. He wrote that "poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar."
To Shelley, poetry was a kind of awakening—it removed the dull film that routine casts over life and reintroduced us to the wonder of existence. It reframes what we take for granted and allows us to see the extraordinary within the everyday.

3. John Keats

Keats believed poetry should elevate, surprise, and feel intimately personal. He wrote, "Poetry should surprise by a fine excess, and not by singularity—it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance."
His vision of poetry was rooted in beauty and truth. For Keats, a poem didn’t need to be clever or novel; it needed to feel like a forgotten part of the reader’s own soul, rediscovered.

4. T.S. Eliot

In contrast to the Romantic poets, Eliot argued that "Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality."
For Eliot, poetry was not a confession, but a discipline—a refining of thought and feeling through craftsmanship. True poetry, he believed, transcended the poet and reached into something more universal and enduring.

5. Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Coleridge offered perhaps the most succinct and elegant definition when he called poetry “the best words in the best order.”
With this, he captured the heart of poetic artistry. Poetry is not merely what is said, but how it is said. It is the music of meaning, the precision of language molded to evoke both thought and feeling.

6. Robert Frost

Frost brought it full circle, beautifully articulating the transformation that poetry enables: "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."
This elegant line speaks to poetry’s power to translate the inarticulate—to give shape to the ineffable and provide clarity where once there was only feeling.
