POETRY

Words excite me

And entice me,

Alphabets dance in rhythm, 

My heart swaying with them,

They razzle

And dazzle,

Like colourful gems they appear,

Like children hide, like dreams reappear,

Creating a melody of passions,

An interplay of imaginations,

Lovely is the magic woven by words,

Touching every heart,striking a chord,

Few tears they bring,

In happiness they sing,

Metaphors and imageries,

Hyperboles and similes, 

Swimming around in various forms!

With lovely feelings warm,

The Sonnet, Haiku, Limerick,

Narratives,Couplets and Epic,

Together the twinkling words,

Form a shimmery verse,

A nonsensical sense,

With feelings immense,

A chaotic lyrical symmetry,

My words shaping into 'Poetry'.
