When a dear one enjoins me-
'Write in a letter what you would like to say'
I write a poem using allegory
so that it links with mind and the reader pay
more attention to my expressions and
have the hidden substance with joy in the end.
Literature is symbolic expression we know,
There are many form of exposition and show.
Though
it is true-
Each and every letter of a language is a symbol
we should remember the earth is not like a ball.
Poems transmit not only thought idea and beauty
Poems capture a lot and empower the sense of duty.
