Like tea leaves that are cut, turned and curled To make refreshing black tea, In a similar way, words are smartly processed To create every kind of poetry. Just as different veggies and spices come together Along with positive energy to make a delicious curry, In the same fashion, thoughts, ideas and experiences Are cooked with love to form rich poetry. Every department in an office has a role to play, In order to maintain the balance and glory; In literature too, words are carefully chosen and wisely appointed In the elite department called poetry. With the power to make us cry As well as to put a smile on our faces, Turning on our brain gym to figure out the hidden meanings, Poems can instantly reach out and awaken people in different places. Everyone is a poet; Some may write, others may not; Poetry is a story wearing a veil of rhymes Or sometimes just prose with emotions that we forgot. Let us celebrate every rhyme, haiku, sonnet and ode Along with their siblings who speak to our hearts; Sprinkle some poetry in your life And get enveloped in the magic of literary arts.
