Greetings folks! Welcome to the backstage of a Poet’s mind. Let’s take you inside the volcano from where ideas and expressions with exceptional creativity erupt in the form of boiling-hot words of wonder and wisdom. You’re here to witness how chaotic thought processes blend with innovation and intensity. You’re here to realize the relentless frenzy a Poet goes through before unleashing the hidden feelings and expressions.
Most of you must’ve thought that
a Poet’s greatest dilemma is to decide ‘What to write’. Well, that’s not the
case. Rather, a Poet’s greatest dilemma encircles around ‘Why to write’. A
cause or a story that Poets can personally relate to, is generally what keeps
them engrossed in finding surprisingly fascinating ways to express their gloomy
or blissful moments and reminiscences.
The greatest dilemma is
followed by the dilemma of ‘How to write’ which irks the Poets. It’s very
common to see a bunch of crumpled papers or a flurry of backspaces being a part
of every Poet’s routine life. That’s because, in spite of already knowing ‘What
to write’, their own predetermined standards get fulfilled only after constant
and vigorous tries to achieve perfection.
Generally, Poets do not like
the idea of expressing directly. Poets prefer to stay confined to their own
comfort zones, while banking on the idea of how to express without really
expressing! Before you get influenced by an assumed amount of vagueness, you
might want to consider the fact that Poets refrain from opening-up to people. It's as if the poets have hidden chests of treasure buried deep down their souls. Instead of a mainstream and a straightforward approach, Poets fancy unique
ways in order to reach out to the audience. Hence, it’s a perpetual challenge
in itself for the Poets to come-up with something different, something
incredible and something too good to be superfluous!
A Poet’s dilemma comprises of
the concern – whether to be realistic and break things down to the audience as
they really are, or to embellish the practicality and spray immense optimism on
it to provide the audience with positive vibes and an array of everlasting
hopes.
Poets overcome such dilemmas to preserve the exquisiteness in what they do and thus, continue to bring smiles on innumerable faces!
