What is a poet all about?

What is a poet all about?

A poet is a person who pens down the words and feelings in a rhyme recognized by the world of literature. Now what is these particular world of literature, well its nothing but the rules of literature that a poet himself / herself has created. Feel free to be open to the changes to the world of literature and rules. A poet can never be tied up in the rules and regulations to pen down his/her feelings, because in any form feelings cannot be bound.

When is a poet created?

Normally they say that poet is created with heart wound. But I say it wrong theory, poet is created when a human with feelings to express is born. And then when that particular person starts writing about his feelings.. at very first in a way of normal wordings or phrase, then as rhyme and then as a poet. A poet is created when God sheds a tear!

When is a poet completed?

A poet is completed only after he/she writes poems which literally brings tear or smile or say exactly similar emotion in the reader’s heart as the poet himself / herself would have felt while writing the poem. A poet is completed on that very same day when he/she writes that particular poem or creation.

What is the life of a poet?

I would rather say that in Indian background there is at present no life for a poet. Coz in India as our history say, poets are recognized after their death. So there is no life for a poet, its only death that may matter to him / her. Poet’s life in other part is hard, very hard. Coz poet is a clean hearted person, who makes his/her emotion visible and comment able by the world. He presents his emotion like a decorated piece of good recipe for which there are few praise and few dislikes. And he had to take all these on his personal emotions, with a smiling face and greed to improve.

Can a poet ever improve?

I don’t think so. A flat answer in my theory is that a poet can never improve. If he/she improves I don’t think he/she is a poet. The reason is very simple, poet is born from a heart of a person and he/she has got something in innersole to show as rhyme. And when a person overrides his innersole, a poet dies and not improves. But they say that a world is a institution and we are here to learn. But poet is a creation of GOD and as I said earlier he/she is tear shed by GOD. There is rather no chance for improvement at least when I say that.

Will a poet die?

No a poet never dies. Coz a poet lives in his/her words and their words are their soul and when soul is alive there is no chance of death. A poet in physical can die, but a poet with his/her word never dies. They live for centuries and when recalled they are always in the heart of a part of new people of new century.Is it worth being a poet?No its not worth being a poet, its priceless. Poets can never be worth in terms of money, gold or diamond. Poets can only be priceless with emotion in the heart of their fans.

Will I as a poet ever get any fans?

Yes, for sure. There is no poet in the world that writes with feelings and cannot get a fan. When the feelings of a poet and a reader match, the fan is created. Naturally in the world there may be many people around who had faced the same feel in the heart as of yours. When they get to read your poems, a fan is born. It may sometime take a time to get fans or fan but I assure you there is one day for sure, when your fan will be born. Take My Words!

Piece of advice!

Don’t try to be much bound in the rules of poems.

Give yourself a freehand to express your feelings.

See you make wonders!
