  2. To write poetry definitely IS art. Every word, every bit of white space, every bit of punctuation...it's all so crucial in a poem.

  3. I read the explanation of the quatrain which to me sounded hard, and then I read your poem and it read so effortlessly and was beatiful ... well done!

  6. @all thanks
    @jeff -agreed !
    @jinksy-yes,but the better part of it is that some people at least try to find poetry out of the feelings and thoughts...something that will be worthy to be expressed in poems than in writings
    ..what say jinksy ji?
