Catharsis In Poetry

Gone are the days when poetry had many rules. Today it’s a serious hobby indulged by many fools. No matter what month, day, date or time no matter whether there’s form, rhythm or rhyme, everyone writes these days – young and old eagerly waiting for the heart to unfold a plethora of emotions – positive and negative. The mind these days is truly a fugitive. Themes in the earlier centuries would be limited But today themes are plenty and unlimited. The likes of Wordsworth, Frost and Blake You’ll find in poetry websites when you rake. Writing poetry is so much fun and cathartic whether you’re at the Equator or in the Arctic. When you write about your feelings blue, your friends read and try to comfort you, too. Hey! All you folks out there - don’t just brood, stand and stare. Just get that diary and pencil out and pour your mind out like water from a spout. Don’t worry about form, rhythm or rhyme and wait not for a more appropriate time. Just ink all of your thoughts from your heart and mind without waiting for a better theme to find. Many thoughts from your mind will make a literary ocean And you’ll find peace in the midst of all this commotion. So wake up and discover the hidden poet in you If I can do this, you can do it, too. 1/10/2010,5 pm
