About my poetic writings

a poem by Ramesh T A

I wonder at what I have been writing so much so long;
That too many matters I write poetically is quite surprising!
I doubt very often whether I have the capacity to write poetry!
I don’t know even what to discuss when asked about my writings;
In Nature what ideas I got, felt and thought I wrote in poetry;
Otherwise, I am nothing when I am not in the mood to write anything.

When the urge comes I become entirely a different person till I finish my writing!
The poetic mood followed by the urge to write continues till the topic naturally ends!
The details of the split personality of my person are perplexing to write
So, bit by bit like the flash back scenes in films I write my heart felt ideas in many poems!

I love music and poetry but don’t know music and poetry to explain and express in variety;
So, I am a romantic adventurer in poetry according to the urge of the place and time!
In this kind of poetry at last I have found out the way to express myself!
If this is not poetry, what else it could be, tell me!
Comments and criticisms are quite welcome from all quarters!

If poetry means, should there be rhyme and rhythm in the lines of the poems?
They are the frame work or the structure in which everything is stuffed in some order;
There is no fixed rule for the structure to produce naturally evolving poetry.
What counts much here is not beautiful frozen structure, but life, feeling and sense in the stuff!
I write to transport the minds to the world to experience vicariously the pleasure of my experience
In the known words compressed informations about
Infinity, unknown reality and the myriad nature of mind.

First I wanted to write novel with philosophical ideas or contemplative essays;
After one novel and a few essays I could not proceed in the same vein any longer!
Then I got the idea of writing this kind of poetry to express out my ideas;
From then on I write, write and write everything as and when the urge comes!

Past knowledge, present experience and future expectations
Combine into ideas to be expressed in the form of poetry;
Contemplative, philosophical and informative ideas with humour tell the state of human life today!
Lonely in Nature when I am in the depressed mood I indulge in meditation;
Mystical exercise in Nature awakens the indwelling spirit to life!
Then the knowledge of reason enlightens the mind and elevates the spirit;
The expression of such a spiritual experience is generally poetic in nature for me!
That is why matters I have expressed more in the poetic form than in anything else;
Also, many matters can be compressed
And very briefly expressed more in poetry than in other forms!

As matters are many there is a chance to forget too, once they are written;
However, my analysed views, convictions and information
Are meant for sharing with everyone.
Essays and other forms of writing, take a long time and many pages to write
That sickens and makes me insipid before I finish my writing;
If it is uninteresting to me how could it be interesting for others to read it?
So, poetry is the best form to resort to to express myself
Whether I am in the best of mood or in the worst of mood!
