What is a Poem?

In the realm of words, where thoughts take flight, A symphony of language, pure and bright. Poetry,                                  the art of condensed grace, Capturing                    life’s hues in a tight embrace. Complex                             tales in concise               attire, Pithy verses                        that spark                     the fire.

Lonely hearts                       find solace in “Whatsappji,” The “Emoji”s                       dance in digital                     …

Ponds and lakes, a disappearing grace, Restore them now and create the space. Desilt the waters, let them flow, An urgent call, we all…
