Poetry and It's Magic...!!!

Poetry is one of those things where you learn more about yourself as an artist than you do about the form itself.

 “The fountains mingle with the river, and the rivers with the ocean, the winds of heaven mix forever, With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine, in one spirit, meet and mingle. Why not I with thine?”       By - Percy    

You know writing Poetry is a very interesting journey and it will make us better writers. It has always been a bit fantastical especially Shakespeare’s Sonnets. They always seemed to be border lining on the magical and that was so very alluring.

Poetry is known for its magic.

 It expresses emotion. A lot of writing forms express emotion, but with poetry, it seems to go deeper. With such minimal writing, the words can mean anything which can make it relatable to so many people. And one person can have one perspective while another can think it means something completely different.

It plays on words and sounds. It is amazing how intricate the words and sounds can flow in a piece of poetry. The rhythm and rhyme really make a piece of poetry stand out. There are so many different forms. You have a free verse, sonnets, villanelles, prose, and so many more. Poems can rhyme or they don’t have to. But at the end of the day, they all shine with so much magic. With any form of writing, an author puts a piece of their soul into it. All those words come from the heart; it is our blood and our life. Poetry really shows us this, though. It is all because of the raw emotion put into it and exuding from it. Poetry uses impressive elements to bring words to life as just the smallest phrase can become a beacon of raw emotion, the smallest sound can send a chill up your spine, and yeah goosebumps too.

Whether you are a frequent reader of poetry or not, it is still relevant today. Though it's likely that you'll turn to poetry at some point in your life. Most people turn to poems when they are going through a difficult moment. Birthdays, funerals, and weddings are examples of joyous or sorrowful occasions. At times when emotions are overwhelming and stressful, poetry can provide a clear statement of experience. Poetry can also be used to explore the possibility of future change, bringing with it the poet's concerns and hopes.

What would be a world be like without poetry ?

 What would be a world be like without poetry ? Poetry is also a brilliant source of inspiration- songs frequently inspire people to keep going, and speeches, which I consider are sometimes a form of poetry, are used to rally countries to a purpose or to provoke social change. The world devoid of poetry would be a much darker place. We would have far fewer expressions of joy if poetry did not exist. Aside from what is commonly referred to as poetry, there are numerous ways in which poetry is expressed in the world. The most obvious example is in music. No poetry means only instrumentals. A speech is another example. Writing with a special emphasis on evoking emotions, to paraphrase the definition of poetry. Free verse is a type of poetry that does not rhyme or follow a set meter. Speeches are a type of poetry because they are usually made to elicit emotions and do not rhyme or have a regular meter. To comprehend how the world would be without poetry, we must first comprehend how po...

Rhyming is not everything.

 Rhyming is not everything. When most people think of poetry, they probably picture elaborate rhyme patterns that poets use to organize their work. Whether contemporary poets, who are often prone to tossing old rhyme schemes away, like it or not, poetry is related to rhyme. Why do some poets choose to rhyme their poetry while others do not? We'll cover everything from why rhymes are important to sorts of rhymes, how to choose one, and why poets occasionally choose to employ unrhymed lines in their poetry in this post. Poems have a rhythm in general, but they don't necessarily rhyme. This is because rhyme is not the most significant aspect of a poem. A poem should instead convey (express) a feeling or an image that we can feel or see (or touch or hear or taste). Poems are frequently misunderstood as having to rhyme. True, if you want something to stick in people's heads or sound good, read-aloud rhymes can help. However, they aren't required. Even if a lot of current poe...

Shayari Hub Poetry event in Varanasi.

Shayari Hub Poetry event in Varanasi. On 19 November 2021 Open mic nights are a great way for many aspiring musicians, artists, and poets as well to gain exposure and experience for their musical careers. Gaining immediate feedback from the audience (many of whom are artists themselves), breaking into the local music scene, and networking with other musicians are just a few of the benefits of performing at an open mic event. Participating in an open mic night is probably one of the simplest ways to gain experience performing in front of a crowd. These opportunities allow you to gain first-hand experience with certain aspects of live performance, such as performing in front of a crowd that is clearly uninterested (or too drunk to understand what is going on) or even losing your voice.  Every experience will teach you something new and help you become a better performer. The program organized by Shayari Hub Poetry in Varanasi was successfully completed, in the program, artists sp...
