Good poetry is like math - it makes you think.
Unlike reading a novel where you turn the page frantically to get to the very end so you can enjoy a climatic finale, reading a poem makes you stop, think and relate to it. I don’t endorse obscure verse, which is the cause for many people to shy away from it. Let me show you what I mean with an example. Here is a passage from the Bible, which I think is poetry in its purest form. (I can assure you I don’t have any ulterior religious motive here). I just like to enjoy with you poetry as a means of philosophical thought, entertainment and enchantment.
John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
And the Word was God
The way John does it so simply, yet breath-taking, leaves me dazzled. That’s great poetry!
To use simple words to create an image in your mind, like a painter uses a palette and colors to show something common in a spectacular way, is an astonishing gift. Good poetry moves the reader with the beauty or drama of what is being described. Verses are all about creating feelings in the reader’s heart, mind and soul while asking questions like “Do you like it?”, “What do you think?”, “Has this have happened to you?”.
Poems draw you in their magic world of words and cadence. That’s the power of poetry! That’s the power a poet has to excite pleasure by using his or her communication skills.
Poems can also haunt you. Think of the soliloquy in Shakespeare’s Hamlet: “To be or not to be, that is the question”. It’s mind blowing!
Poetry, like math, enhances your mental skills, and, at the same time, it goes the extra mile: it’s pleasure for your heart and soul, too. That’s why I read and write poetry. I encourage you to do the same. Be not afraid, read it and write it!
