My definition of Poetry

Writing poetry is one art I am in love with. Poetry writing is the first among my list of hobbies.

Recalling my first poem, sad but I have lost it with my precious diary, as I wrote in my earlier post. My first poem was rather not exactly a poem but a spoof on the song "kuch kuch hota hai".  My brother could not stop laughing in agreement after reading that. It was something like-

Exams paas aaye,

Mujhko sataye,

Inme na jaane kya,

Questions samaye...

Ab to meri books,

Aage naa badi hain,

Kya karu haye,

Preparation na hoti hai...

There was more, 2 lines on each subject, but I seriously do not remember... 

The above spoof was quite spontaneous when one day I was trying to concentrate on studies. Actually, most of my attempts at poems have been completed in a few minutes. I do re-read them and try editing. So , to me, poetry is semi-spontaneous.

If I ever have to define poetry in my own words, I would say that - " poetry is an expression of feelings tangled in between beautiful words". Of course, to be roped into a poem, the words better be powerful.

Poems are generally written in a flow, flow of emotions. Some people may find them too sad or too sweet and call it overflowing. But not for me. 

To summarise, I may also say that Poetry is a semi-spontaneous flow of emotions via beautiful and powerful words.
