SOME THOUGHTS ON POEMS READ

Just as i started writing about the novels i have read let me also list down some of the poets and their poetry which i have read. I am thankful that i had a nice school which was under the ICSE board, thus giving us more exposure to literature and arts than any other. Poems are a basic human expression of emotions in words and rhyme, some favourite poems strike a deep corner of the heart and bring forward long hidden emotions upfront.

Listing down the few poets and their poetry which i have read, i recall that i am a classics lover , thus my poetry also starts with the classic poet William Wordsworth. He's my favourite, having read many of his poetry, favourite among which is the " The Solitary Reaper" , a poem which expresses the emotions of a rural girl working in the fields and singing about her environment and life. I like Wordsworth because he is a "nature poet", showering his poetry with nature and description of the natural world and its emotions.

Then i like John Keats, though dont recall many of his poems but still a lasting memory of his words remain in my heart and i so i can remember him and his poetry full of visions and arts.

There is T.S Elliot , Coleridge, and many more who have influenced my adolescence, just realised that i need go and revise and relive all those beautiful poetry and write about them in the coming days.
