What is a poetry? If some one asks me this question, I have two answers with me.The former being Poetry is an ART where we paint the pictures with our words and the latter is Poetry is my self-expression. Here I mean self -expression because I try to relate (fantasize ) myself with the characters I write taking into account all aspects of life
Exploring Poetry is the one I started to explore poetry in general and share what I explored about it with my poem.This is the week 9 of my exploring journey.It is more or less like TREKKING.Say, a poetry trekking....few joined me in my trekking in the past making my experience an enjoyable one...and I am still awaiting more to join me in..
This week : Who-What-When-Where-Why Poem (W-W-W-W-W Poem or 5W Poem)
How to write one Who -What-When-Where-Why Poem /5W Poem
- They are five lines long poem.
- It should tell a story or give a strong picture of someone or something.
- Each line should answer on of the “W” questions in the order listed Who-What-When- Where-Why.
- When you read the poem, it should sound like a two sentences put together.
WHO - Brave woman ,She was
WHAT - Balanced her life with her children
WHEN - During their growing days
WHERE - In the home of the care
WHY - Teaching other womens to cope cancer
Womens We Are ! written in 5W form of poetry
A Woman , one in hundred
Made few hearts to listen through her struggle
During her lifetime
By Writing and in Speaking
For her Voice to be heard
Celebrate International Women's Day !!!
THROUGH MY FIRST STEP
One woman who is my Idol, Role Model and Mentor ( 5W Poem) :
My Mother
Made me a dignified woman
Imprinting her foot at every stage of my life
Safe-guarding my journey
For the unconditional love she had for me
One Man who is my Idol, Role Model and Mentor ( 5W Poem) :
My Dad
Of whom I was blessed with best education
Right from my childhood days
Teaching Life as I grew
To face my world with confidence
