PORTRAITS OF PASSION

Life and poetry aemule each other: they are different forms of the same process with sensibilities functioning as the umblical chord between them. The realities of life intenerate to incony imageries and pleasing expressions when pass through the creative being of a poet and spawn a new world of delightful experience. In this sense, poetry is life: poetry is poetic experience of the life,and poetry is the spirit of life in its transcendent form. It reflects life not only in form, but also in spirit and soul. A good poetry soars with lurking nuances of suggestive meanings beneath the outer form, pendentously opens up new worlds of meaning every time it is read. Only a sensitive, imaginative and resourceful mind can fully comprehend all the finer aspects of a poetry. A great reader, in this sense, makes a poetry, great. A poetry sans a good reader is as dumb as a wild flower. This is why poetry needs good readership. The natural desire for wider and good readership prompted me to seek the publication of this work as my fourth volume of poems.
