Poetry is mysterious…..
Rhythmic wings
twirling in air but
buzzing away from paper.
Scattered thoughts
couldn’t fit anywhere .
Poetry is secretive ….
Words are erased more than written.
Story revealed but
true essence is deeply hidden.
Even spaces & comma speaking
what was unspoken.
Poem is like unsolved puzzle….
No order,
how to start or where to end.
Doesn’t matter,
how you interpret or ignore.
No limitations on
how it is structured or flowed.
Poetry is complex………..
Straight is twisted ,
simple is fancied,
& rules are broken
to match the rhythm.
Poetry is unpredictable……..
Words go missing when
you needed them most.
When emotions are flowing
either ink is frozen or nib is broken .
Poetry is draining energy & time
but
still numbed fingers holding that pen
hoping one day ink will
flow smoothly from mind to paper.
P.S.– A big “Hello” to all of you after my 3weeks of break from blogging.
Today It was little difficult for me to decide what to post. So finally came up with this poem which represents my situation while writing.

Bhavana, such a wonderful poem on ” poetry”. Yes, it seems like the unsolved puzzle, but once you ink the paper with your thoughts, dress them with your words it is cathartic! ❤️

Yes! Poetry is complex, what we interpret might be different from writer’s perspective.

You have captured the essence of poetry so beautifully. One of the best feelings a poet can experience is hear new interpretations of their works, full of meanings that he/she didn’t even think of while writing it in the first place. Loved this one! 🙂
