What Is Poetry? (As You Want To Know) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

What is poetry? Poetry is dhvani, vani, akshara. Poetry is emotions and feelings. Poetry is the albhabet of literature. Poetry is songs. Poetry is dances. Poetry is terracotta temples and their replicas in art.

Poetry is the language of the heart. Poetry is a song of the heart. Poetry is the language of love. Poetry is dreams.

Poetry is biography, poetry is autobiography. Can life-sketches be not poetized? Can busts and torsos be not described?

Poetry of life, how to write it? Poetry of man and environment? Poetry of ecology? Of exotic flora and fauna?
