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

“A new beginning is an illusion.”

“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!”

“In the beginning, poets make their best efforts to fit words into their rhyme and lyric. However, as time passes and the ink mystifies, poets tend to let their thoughts conjure a rhyme in tune with the extraordinary struggles of ordinary life.”

“Sadly, but certainly, a promising genre of literature in poetry that began with pomp and a loud thud, a banger and an emphatic entry in the public domain with so many expectations, has been circumambulating the corridors of university classrooms and the decision war-rooms of the government-funded and apparently biased award bodies.”

“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!”

“From love's plectrum arises”

“If I had a soul I sold it”

“Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly”

“When she left me”

“Fuck You Poem #45”

“Don't ask her to be a rock”
