Poem writing

“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words” – Robert Frost

Poems are one the beautiful things in the literature world.  Poets have done a really great job in the past and in present, as there are some poems which are written in past and yet are still fresh and beautiful as it was before. Writing and expressing your thoughts is not really easy but we can always try.

Many times, my older school use to arrange poetry writing competition though I never won. But as I came to know that our school’s newsletter is coming up, I decided to contribute by writing a poem. I am inspired by many poets namely Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Rudyard Kipling and many others. I haven’t read many poems of these authors but I have read few. Once my friend told me “Poetry is an expression of life in a way it really sounds”. I thought about it and decided that I would narrate my story, feelings through my poem. I have never really written a poem properly before, this is my first time. I am ready for this new challenge and hope all of you like my poem.

For all the things given,

Lies a hidden agenda.

Cruel is the word,

For itself and for people.

Though people stabbed; front or back,

No hatred was established.

In Silence, Smile, Laughter and Eyes,

Lies all the pain.

Still no hatred for pain,

Cuz it’s the infection and the cure.

Through which we learn,

Is the not the end but the beginning.

I never knew that I would write a poem like this. I tried my best to arrange my own rhyming scheme, but I really couldn't.This is one skill which i didn't learn and I hope to learn it soon. It’s not necessary that every poem should have a rhyming scheme.  I did learn some new skills, like how to write down your thoughts and experience in a poetic manner, how to use figure of speeches in the poem. The next time I write a poem, I hope it would have rhyming scheme. I hope everyone who ever reads this poem, likes it. I have tried my best and hope to see it soon in the newsletter. Till then enjoy!
