For me, writing poetry is an emotional liberation, written from the heart for hearts. My writings do not follow any pattern or form. Rather my proses are a free flow of thoughts written with emotions, which either I feel or have observed.
The learned may categorize them as sonnet, sestina, haiku or whatever they wish. But for me, it is a feeling not confined by boundaries, constraint in some regimented form, waiting for some judgmental proceedings. Isn’t art and standardize structure oxymoron? What are your thoughts?

Poetry does not have a form, it takes your form, so keep writing
That’s difficult question, Shantanu. Personally I agree with you. However, there are people who feel more comfortable within standardize structures.
Thanks for your read and beautiful comment
True that my friend. Thanks for your comment. Everyone has their opinion and I respect it.
I know you do. So do I. Honestly I do not think I answered your question 🙂
🤝👌
You absolutely did. You gave me your opinion 😊😊🌸🌸
Haha! You are too kind. I’ll give myself a C. No direct answer to the main question 🙂
I dread being your student you are strict 😊
lol
😊🌸
I agree with you, but I guess it also depends on what it is for. Some people write poems for publications. Some do them for their own emotional release. Keep writing!
Agreed. I love free verse
But sometimes trying different forms and styles is a fun task!😄
Nonetheless, the real essence comes from the thought process of the writer
Poetry when in rythmn flows for me…at times I just right without it. It is a personal choice. What works for one may not work for another. I think I like to run and I do poems because I am an avid music lover. In music there is always a rhyming.
I think I’ll stick by what I said last time…to each his/her own! 😀
Beautiful thought. Thanks so much for your lovely comment
Thanks so much for your thoughts.
I love rhymes too. Thanks so much for sharing your views
You have a sharp memory. I have to be careful what I say to you now 😊
I feel that poetry is an emotional journey . It should have a liberal flow. Thanks for the share. 😊
Much pleasure 😄
Thanks so much for your view point. I truly appreciate it
🌸😊
If it’s a liberal flow of emotions then it’s the best definition which resonates with everyone!
Great provoking words there Sir. You certainly have made it a point to go through our emotions in a poetic manner irrespective of the pattern!💙
Lol! Beware! 😉
I don’t know any format or technique of writing a poem…Just let the feeling flow through your pen…A format of automatically comes… My view totally though.
Thanks so much for such a beautiful comment. Always appreciate your words
I know. I have to be extra careful 😃
True that. Thanks so much for your lovely words
I believe that poetry should just flow from what is within our hearts, minds, and souls.
We don’t all have to follow a format… it’s too constricting. Allow the emotions to flow with ease…
That is my personal feeling too. Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🌸🌸
My pleasure! Do what sets your heart on fire! 💗
❤️🌸😊
You’re welcome Shantanu 😀 😀
🌸😊
You have written such post before too.
I believe though our heart beats in a rhythm but our thoughts don’t.So express whatever way you can becoz that way is beautiful ❤️
You have great memory. This is a reblog. Thank you for your beautiful comment dear ❤️
Well said. This is the reason that modern poetry which rests more on the free verse form is so popular today. Sometime following the rules of the structure takes away the free flow of the emotions. I too find it very restrictive.
I agree with you. Thanks for your comment
My pleasure.
On the other hand I’m always in awe of the poets who are able to wrote beautiful poetry in sonnets, sestina and other forms.
🌸😊
True that too
