Play of Words

Why poetry means so much to me.. Also the inspiration (challenge)

 

It is a divine interposition

of my mundane life,

chasing this will

to view this alphabet soup,

clear and through.

 

This ability to string the words,

step away from 'pros'e and 'con'trary notions

while bearing the wrath of grammar aristocrats;

yet, unfolding my untold narration

evoked from my deep emotions.

 

At times it educes unbridled joy

Or shares my gloom and despair;

let's me paint a picture,

takes me on a journey.

These words play a creative one on me!

Creative enough to let myself be me.

Thus, a bit free.

Hello there!

This is truly a unique response to the challenge!

It's written so well and crafted so nicely, I can definitely tell that poetry--weaving words together with such intense emotions--is your inspiration. But I think that you captured why we all--or, most of us--write poetry: to escape and be free. Your diction when you write is so alive--the words come to life!

Your first stanza grabbed me and the rest did not disappoint! A beautiful poem about the beauty of poetry!

Thank you for sharing this, I truly enjoyed reading it!

Immense thanks to you MusicManiac! I can only say that poetry is like a trance where I escape and it's surprising. That glowing review made me feel as much alive as the poem did for you. I appreciate it, truly!

[MusicManiac]

You're very welcome :)

A really clever poem Sindu, and its great to read how words have influenced and made you the great poet you are today :)

[Sindu]

Thanks a lot Richard! So kind of you. I may be a bit of poet but nowhere great. You all are. Thanks though :)

[R Smith]

No false sincerity here, you are great, simple as that, bravo :)

[Pushkar Prabhat]

I think everyone will relate to this.
I loved it!

[Sindu]

On some level every poet does I guess, yes. Thanks a lot Pushkar :)

Freedom of soul seems to be common theme of most of your poems and rightly so. Writing is your sword to fight the mediocrity and ignorance we face in the everyday life and you are doing good job in this.

[Sindu]

You hit the nail head on! Quite a few of them were written around the same time and that's what inspired me. Thanks a lot Avinash! Ironically I have exact meaning of fighting ignorance in another poem.. haha

[Briana O'Connor]

The weaving of words can definitely be an inspiration, in deed. Such a unique idea. I'm a watcher myself (hence the peeping poet :P ) Very well done.

[Sindu]

Yep, you have a fun name :P I wanted it to be a fun write but with a meaning :)

[L. C. Rhodes]

Yep. That's pretty much the way I feel too.

[Sindu]

Hey, that's great! Cheers!!

Words have the power to wound or to elevate the soul. Well penned.

NOTE: Did you want the reader to read ['pros'e] as "proz-ee" I'm unsure what your intent there was.

[Sindu]

Thanks a lot Momzi! I meant pros as in pros and cons. I united pros and prose which is away in a way from the poetry, right? You get me? Ya, That's that

[MomzillaNC]

Okay. I see it now.

[Swaroop Manikandan]

wish you to be free always...

[Sindu]

Thank you and wish you the same.

[Swaroop Manikandan]

Sure my friend :-)

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Words are amazing tools. Can make us dream, cry and laugh. Each writer shared a part of them in the words. I like your logic and reasons for writing. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
