Pool of Emotions for your Poem

To write a poem needs a quite pool of emotions. Unlike writing lyrics that you can be guided by the beat or music, poems need not any back up but imagination to play with your feelings. Poetry is wall painting in words. Just read a poem and the picture embeds in your mind. In fact, the graphics is too vivid to ignore. That is how poetry works in our mind.

It is one heaven of a challenge to come up with a poem. Even those who are a pro cannot just put words together if emotion does not prompt her to do so. Yet sometimes, while walking around or even in the middle of something, words just play your mind without a warning. And before you knew it, you were already whispering. Many times too these words are wasted if the writer will not grab a pen to record such lovely and playful activity of the mind. Despite words just coming out, it is not all the time that a poet wants to write and stop over things that she is already engaged to. There are season too that everyday can be a poetry day. Quality-wise, poems are not as good when writing is not in the heart as those of moments that a writer is passionate about coming up with one. It is not just about fine arts that artists can use their skills without creativity or imagination by creating a landscape painting copied from the front lawn. As it is said, poetry takes a lot of emotion and creativity to work together. Too much feeling poured in to it, in fact, triggered and more stimulated becomes actually draining in the part of the writer.

There is nothing wrong with conditioning the mind before coming up with a poem. In fact, a master poet can do this anytime needed. But then, it is irrefutable that there are periods that the heart and the mind prompt her to just simply make her hand with pen move over a piece of something. When this happens, she knows so well what a brilliance it will result to! This can be compared to artist who just woke up in the middle of the night, with eyes shut, the hands just move to create a magnificent wall painting in his canvas.
