THE BEAUTY OF POETRY

 

THE BEAUTY OF POETRY 

Poetry can be used to express something artistically.

The use of rhyme and rhythm contributes magically.

Thoughts and ideas can be arranged in stanzas,

Making the language simple to connect with readers.

 

Poetry evokes vivid imagery and deep emotions.

The brevity allows for a concise and powerful expression.

The poet’s thoughts are conveyed in a personal manner.

These elements can all reflect the poet’s demeanour.

 

Poets are sometimes referred to as word alchemists.

At times, their words make you feel they are optimists.

Their verses and words transform content into pleasure.

John Keats said that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. 

 

The work of famous poets lives on after their death,

We commemorate their poetry for special events.

Writing poetry takes my mind off this chaotic world.

In my life, the beauty of poetry plays a special role.

     WORLD POETRY DAY 21st March 2026

  Poetry has been around since ancient Biblical times.

  King David, Moses, and King Solomon wrote the Psalms.

  Poets share ideas, express emotions, and create imagery.

  And proudly present them to readers in beautiful poetry.

   *

   With poetry, we can write about anything we feel.

   True things, and even things unreal.                               

   Poetry can take us into an enchanted world.

   A land of dreams, reality, hope, and places untold.

   *

  Poetry is long-lived and an important part of art and culture.

  Blank verse, rhymed, free verse, narrative, and Tanka,

  Pastoral, sonnet, elegies, odes, limericks, epics, and haiku.

  Even Soliloquy, villanelle, lyrical, ballad, and Gogyohka, too.

  *

    When I visited Shakespeare’s hometown, I grew to love Poetry.

    Like a stranger standing at my door, it waited to greet me.

    It brought out the best in me and made me happy.

    On World Poetry Day, I display my poetry books proudly.

FIVE-STAR BOOK REVIEW FOR BEAUTY OF POETRY

Dear Readers.

I received a wonderful Five-Star Review from Florabelle Lutchman for my New Release, BEAUTY OF POETRY, on Goodreads.

Here is the Review:

"Beauty of Poetry!!

What an apt name the Author, Brenda Mohammed, gave to this book, her sixtieth!!!

The book is filled with exceptionally written poems that come straight from the heart.

They are of different genres and all are artistically written, dealing with many of her personal feelings and experiences.

The poet says, ”Poetry is in my thoughts and my dreams.”

She writes because of her intense love for poetry. A reader could easily discern such from reading each poem. Once you start you can never put the book down.

She writes about Love saying as we all know, “Love is the greatest virtue of all.” There are a few other poems on Love. Then she goes on to write of her travels to London, Venice, Rome, and numerous other places she visited with family.

What is most striking about this “Beauty” however, are the religious poems contained in the book - Jesus cleansing the temple, the unconditional love God has for us-” God first loved us and wants us to love Him too.”

If you do not as yet know Christ read “Who is Jesus Christ?” The Lenten Season and Holy Week are also specifically dealt with.

Family Values and poems on cancer appeal to the reader. The Author is a cancer survivor and she writes, “As a cancer survivor for eighteen years, it breaks my heart,

When close relatives and friends from this disease depart.”

Please obtain a copy of this book and read it to your heart’s content. You will never regret it. As a matter of fact, you will consider it a joy immeasurable."
