Poets
Poetry brings joy to life. In each verse, lie layered meanings. Famous poets like John Keats, Edgar Allen Poe, Rudyard Kipling, and Oscar Wilde left behind a rich repertoire of poems that exalt life. Their poetry delves into the profundity of life. Some of these acclaimed poets were also well-known novelists ~ Kim Khurana
I love Poetry it creates a world of imagination and thought provoking twist. One of my favorite weird readings are stories written by Edgar Allan Poe. As a young teenager, Edgar Allan Poe's writings intrigued me. "And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor, Shall be lifted -- Nevermore!" Can you imagine your soul in the shadow, a shadow of yourself floating without suspension no anchor or since of direction, moving where and when the wind blows. But, then he says shall be lifted. Now I'm sure the interpretation various from person to person. But for me, shall be lifted means the weigh is off, my head no longer hangs down and I can see hope. Edgar Allan Poe's writings are dark. He seemed very depressed in my opinion but, for some reason I enjoy his writing now as I did long ago.
Writing is challenging and yet Edgar Allan Poe wrote thousands of pages many pages from his life experiences. Take this quote: Can it be fancied that Deity ever vindictively, Made in his image a manikin merely to madden it? What does this mean to you? A Deity being vindictive creating mankind to madden it? I wonder what he was thinking when writing this one? It seems very deeply rooted in perhaps madness just a thought. Perhaps he did not understand how God could create mankind and mankind turn mad in their minds without a clear picture of reality. I would love to hear your thoughts on this one.
Sound loves to revel in a summer night. Imaging writing on a summer night as you view the ski and listen to the water ripple softly back and forth. You could write a novel. Sound loves to revel in a summer night. Revel means, a lively and noisy way. So, imagine the various sounds of summer, laughter, boats, cars music events just to name a few. Poetry a beautiful rendition of words that dance on paper from our heart and mind. Words that entertain our dreams and fantasies. People love to dream and imagine. Our minds are like a recorder registering data daily. It does not matter whether the imagines in our mind or negative or positive, our brain will still store the information. One way to rid ourselves of clutter in our brain is to write. Just like Edgar Allan Poe even if it sounds a little strange.
Happy Writing, you just may find a POET inside of you.
