There is magic in writing poems. Even the best of writers
will attest that poem writing is not as easy as others think. It is like wall painting when one has to convey emotion in few words, not to mention that putting of words together
should sound good when read overall. The choice, too, may impose dilemma
between expressing through metaphors or other idiomatic expressions and
expressing it plain and simple, as direct to the point.
There is something in poem writing if one will just master
how to do it. The truth is you fall in love with your own works. And if times,
you feel like reflecting, you can count on your poems to express what your
hearts would just want to pour out in such emotional moment. Imagine to write
all the contents of your heart in a few lines to create an expression that will
strike the heart of your reader like a dagger embedded in your soul, must be
something. Music can effectively do this. We get swayed with music as
stand-alone. All the more that it becomes more effective which is strong enough
for someone to get heavily carried away if there are words as lyrics put to it.
But, what about poems? Obviously, they are more silent compared to songs. But
they touch not just the heart but the soul. They are not like landscape
painting that can be decorative while at the same time conveying a meaning.
Poems are not novels or stories that a writer is given the chance to be
descriptive of everything to make the flow effective. They are not dancing
where gestures and actions can speak on top of the music. And as it is said, it
is not a song where there is a beat to make you move. Poems are simply few
lines of one’s innermost thought but such short stanzas can say it all. Once
effectively written, it does more to the soul, in fact, than to the heart.
Poetry is more similar to wall painting than any form of
arts. And to say which is more superior depends on the person if he or she is
more of visual than words or the other way around. Poem writing is addicting. You get obsessed to your own writing. In fact, when you read your own composition yourself, you get
hooked to it and you tend to bring the feeling back felt during the time such
is written.
