Poetry: An Exercise In Emotion And Vulnerability By : Scott Lindsay - “[Henry David] Thoreau is a keen and delicate observer of nature - a genuine observer - which, I suspect, is almost as rare a character as even an original poet; and Nature, in return for his love, seems to adopt him as her especial child, and shows him secrets which few others are allowed to witness.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne (Journal entry, September 1, 1842) Most of the greatest poets were not recognized for their work until they had long been laid to rest. Many suffered g... George Gordon Byron By : Gabriel George Gordon Byron was born in London on 22 January, 1788.

Uneven Exchanges By : A+Spirited Hunger unfulfilled, the dream of realness clothed in the lie Poetry Critique - Critique The Poem - Not The Poet By : Rose DesRochers The act of writing poetry is something that is very personal to us poets, and sharing it for the first time can be a very frightening experience.

Dark Passage - A Moonlit Journey through Urban Decay By : Owen Johnston The ravens on the roof / Stand guard like gargoyles - / These grim feathered ghouls / Perch atop the once proud passages / That they now pretend to own, / And sing a sad a cappella / In mockery of memory. The Beauty Of It Wedding Poem By : drageda This poem was inspired by two lines in a movie well known to most of you, "Bridges Over Madison County". First there is the powerful emotion of Meryl Streep's character asking, "I wonder if anyone can see the beauty of it", and then the best line, "I'll only say this once. I've never said it before. This kind of certainty comes but just once in a lifetime", by Clint Eastwood's character. This is more than love, it is a deep unexplainable connection, a true gift: "This kind of certainty".

Urdu Nazm An Introduction By : Syed Rizvi The ghazal in Urdu represents the most popular form of subjective poetry, while the nazm exemplifies the objective kind, often reserved for narrative, descriptive, didactic or satirical purposes. Under the broad head of the nazm we may also include the classical forms of poems known by specific names such as masnavi (a long narrative poem in rhyming couplets on any theme: romantic, religious, or didactic), marsia (an elegy traditionally meant to commemorate the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain and his comrades of the Karbala fame), or qasida (a panegyric written in praise of a king or a nobleman), for all these poems have a single presiding subject, logically developed and concluded. However, these poetic species have an old world aura about their subject and style, and are different from the modern nazm, supposed to have come into vogue in the later part of the nineteenth century. History of Ghazal By : Syed Rizvi Ghazal originated in Iran in the 10th century A.D. It grew from the Persian qasida, which in verse form had come to Iran from Arabia. The qasida was a panegyric written in praise of the emperor or his noblemen. The part of the qasida called tashbib got detached and developed in due course of time into the ghazal. Whereas the qasida sometimes ran into as many as 100 couplets or more in monorhyme, the ghazal seldom exceeded twelve, and settled down to an average of seven. Because of its comparative brevity and concentration, its thematic variety and rich suggestiveness, the ghazal soon eclipsed the qasida and became the most popular form of poetry in Iran.
