The art of writing poems

I am a person, difficult to understand. While poems flow through me and writing them is as easy as love, all relaxed n ever-ready, reading poems is the tough bit for me, though I try the best to comprehend and appreciate others' poetry, the guess what this is about kinds. Perhaps, time will tell how far I go in the art of reading poetry. So far, I am satisfied writing poems as they come, almost like a divine hand behind them. Poems usually flow during painful periods, though I can easily jot down any number of poems on varied topics - whenever, wherever. Writing and reading understood poems is always a joy that brings happiness n composure to those very emotional moments. Pain thus has an outlet, transforming from heart aches to achievement in the form of a poem. Musical language and some devices and imagery define my work and I must say while I am happy with my work, there are probably areas where I can develop. Read with a good heart and mind, relaxed and not too hurriedly and what appears on surface is what poems are about, not too deep, with music and rhythm n some rhyme, similes, other poetic devices like alliteration, metaphors, personification, etc. The titles are more about the poet' s state of mind. The art of writing poems- is addressing the start of my writing poetry when I was instructed in the art of writing poems using various poetic devices. The second book- Beautiful life, self, world is about me, my life, so far- joys n sorrows but all within a beautiful life, hence self, hence world. I got to this point through my reflections and introspectionism. The 3rd book takes its name-Love, Joy, Peace from how life has been so far for me, all credit for such optimism goes to me who' s been able to look beyond the problems of life that flavor it with some bitterness, and instead give credence to all the joys n happiness inherent in it too. As my experiences and life and self are characterized by titles accorded to each book so my work should be a lot characterized by names of the books and therefore the titles. Recounted here are my varied life experiences and about myself and the world with honesty in heart and writing. Some poems here are descriptive, some meaningful, some emotional, some nature/animal-inspired or spiritual, love, philosophical, some artistic, some personal n others that carry a social message. Poems are not arranged in order of importance but from oldest in chronological order. They are merely written to give an insight into the life n times of the writer, the world as is seen by her, from the start till now n are deemed more a celebration of life, in the most spiritual sense of the word with happiness and sorrow together combined. Written with a joyful n peaceful heart that characterizes the poet. I feel poetry is a good medium for sharing with all - everyone can write it and emerges differently with everyoneSharing makes your problems lesser and you feel an audience and support emerging and a message for all works out brilliantly- you are not alone, we are there for you in the pains and pleasures of life. There is hope in poetry that sustains us all and hope apart, there is a message of love emitting across.
