Poetry Quote by Alok Mishra — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Philosophy eulogises death, perturbs lives.”

“When poetry becomes synonymous with examination stress, it is unsurprising that readers abandon it once formal education ends.”

“Poetry, today, is struggling for its space. Poets are writing poems. Readers are not reading poems. Other poets are reading other poets’ poems. They seldom like or appreciate what others write. Poetry, therefore, has turned itself into an unresolving cycle of paradox!”

“Poetry, if it has too many layers, should at least lead readers to the openings of the caves the poet built with words and then let them explore on their own! If it does not happen, the travellers might return even without knocking at all!”

“From the actual public discourse of life, poetry, unfortunately, has vanished! Whatever residue is left has the silver touch of verse and aesthetic in the subconscious of the aged population from the bygone era!”

“Solitude, when opted for by one after having a comprehensive experience of the world, makes the ground fertile for the rare union of wisdom and rhythm to generate some quality poetry!”

“Books are carefully folded forests/void of autumn/bound from the sun”

“But drunkenly, or secretly, we swore,”

“Amor”

“Stars open among the lilies.”

“When I can feel you breathing into me i, like a stone gargoyle”

“And so sepúlchred in such pomp dost lie,”
