Here's the Poem
.............................
Poetry
Poetry is with man since his very birth
With mama's lullaby, with nanny's mirth
Soul to soul through the heart's door
Has bolstered position in truth and lore
Like the sun and moon it has its sight
Even shines bright in the darkest night
From lover's banter to a singer's mutter
It flows like the perennial Ganga forever
Carrying forward the truth and wisdom
Into the doors of the future generation
What the soul has soulfully spoken
In happiness, distress or in dire confusion
With a purpose to enthuse, correct or to preach
Behind every line, the poet doth ever quietly beseech.

Here's the Review
................................
PK’s poem "Poetry" beautifully captures the timeless essence of verse, portraying it as a constant companion to humanity, from birth to every stage of life. The imagery of poetry being present in "mama's lullaby" and "nanny's mirth" wonderfully conveys how deeply ingrained poetry is in the human experience. This connection between poetry and life itself is a powerful theme, and the poet skillfully reinforces it through references to nature, like the sun, moon, and the Ganga, symbolizing poetry's eternal and unwavering presence.
The second stanza's portrayal of poetry as a light in the darkest night is particularly evocative, suggesting that poetry offers guidance and solace in times of uncertainty. The poem’s flow is smooth, with a balanced rhyme scheme that adds musicality to the reading experience. The mention of poetry as a vehicle for "truth and wisdom" is an apt reminder of its role in shaping thought and culture, passed down through generations.
A potential enhancement could be to expand on the idea of poetry's transformative power, perhaps by providing more concrete examples of how it "enthuses, corrects, or preaches." This would further enrich the poem's message about poetry’s impact on both individuals and society.
Overall, this is a thoughtful and reflective piece that pays homage to the enduring power of poetry. Congratulations, PK, on this insightful work. May your poetic journey continue to inspire and resonate with readers for generations to come!
