Poetry

Hello Friends!

After 11 weeks of stories, sagas and novels ThyBookBox continues to bring you much more exciting and intriguing genres.
It is something powerful and much more intense this week. We dedicate this complete week of March to poetry.
So I suggest you all book a corner where you can flow with the rhythm, pause with the rhymes, indulge within the symbolism, and live in the imagery that the poem offers.

The poem, it's something we've known since we were kids. The phrases, meanings, and themes advanced with complexities and understanding. It's always accompanied by a particular way of recitation, mood, pitch, theme, and many more elements that we add to make the poem get alive. This always tells a short story, a meticulously described incident, or a deep philosophy with the most attractive ingredients of literature. 
Poetry is an art of portrayal with a particular diction which is demonstrated through its elements of articulation. 
Poetry has many forms of portrayals and genres in which it is written, it is uniquely classified. 
Every form of poetry has a shade of unique art. The stanzas and verses have their eccentric power when it's read and spoken, it has the power to convey the slightest of emotions, it also gives a picturesque vision. 
No wonder this form of literature has so much intensity!

Poetry has its place from prehistoric times and prevails to be the most beautiful way to portray everything. The great epics like Mahabharata, Geeta, and Ramayana are an example of how poetry brings forth the best. 
There are ancient Greek epic poetries with exquisite themes and vibrant elucidations.
The essence of light poetry pleases the readers and creates a channel of connection.
This is not just to what poetry beholds, there are many distinctive ways it decorates literature with its stylistic elements.

I am a poetry person and if you too are one, this list would gratify you and make your time worth spending on these selected poems.
