Keeper of Joys and Woes

by Meena Krish   Mar 10, 2011


Sweet and sentimental touching tenderly
pearls of wisdom creates a well of serenity
strife and sorrow encaged deep within,

Poetry is a home
for the heart to release all its dreams.

Inspiring words renders the soul speechless
warm and soothing a medicine for many
melodic notes captures a drifting mind to listen,

Poetry is expression
on pallid ground blue prints glisten.

The magnitude of a poem is immeasurable
it implodes creating ripples of hue
a world of words ceaselessly glows,

Poetry is ageless
a keeper of life's joyful moments and woes

    How true! Poetry is:
    sentimental, touching, sometimes so sad
    serene, soulful, sublime
    striking, surreal, starry
    sunny, symbolic, spunky
    simple, serenading, or sly

    and of course all of the above, when written by someone so smart!.

    This poem is so true. I liked how you described poetry in different ways because poetry means something different to everyone. Sometimes poetry is a way to heal, at least for me. Sometimes it's a way to express something beyond words. Sometimes it's just something we do to help the time pass. I love the way this was written. Your verses and word choice was very well done. I can tell that you took your time with this piece. It shows in every word. It's always nice to read something with such profound meanings. Great work dear :] glad I stopped by to read. -Nik

    All in all, you have really done a great job describing poetry and what it means. Your words speak the heart of poets who truly do write. Great job and keep writing.
