Poetry is like a deep dive into the fathomless ocean of human emotion. I read the poetry "An elementary school classroom in a slum" by Stephen Spender, an English poet, who tried to draw a picture of slum children sitting in the school. Though the sight of the English slum school is different from that of where I live. Yet the poem gives the equal burn to me, equal sorrow for slum children as it gives to any Englishman. Poetries don't need a compass.
1) Universal applicability is the element that makes poetries famous around the globe. Read and enjoyed by all men and women.
Remember Robert Frost's "The road not taken": a brilliant example of universal applicability.
2) The second element that provides wind to the wings of poetry is a "pun".
Poems are instruments to experience human emotion. Imaginations differ but the true essence remains constant.
3) The rhyme at the end of the line gives a satisfying feeling like that of having a dessert delight after a meal.
collaboration of the reader's imagination with the poet's idea is what we call a poetry
to sum up, all the above-mentioned elements, let's make one right here:
The poetry of life will swing
until the last breath
it will swing high and low
Sometimes it may glow
Sometimes it may blow
But the only thing to know is to
keep going, go.
-Aashi Gupta
