Poetry is one form of fine expression, to be slowly savoured like chocolate, enjoying and digging into the content word by word, marveling at the thoughts and appreciate the way ensembled that convey the joys, sorrow, pain, philosophy -- a way of looking at the world, both in nature and the man-made. Some have an inborne bent towards the medium to just read or even write, may be some develop it later. Somehow I never got into that circle to be involved or look up to it, but definitely try going through when coming across accidentally.
I don't feel it necessary to be reading poetry to be poetic. If being poetic or romantic is a form of being imaginative, besides having a broader viewpoint towards the world, that is. We come across not so educated folks who have a better understanding and express the ways of life in down-to-earth manner. Be it the proverbs or adages they convey observations and experiences put in an effective form in such simple words.
This vague reference to poetic expressions didn't really come out of the blue, but casually occurred when the sequential numbering of daily posts gave a hint on having reached 99 with a bit more to go. To quote Robert Frost (again) in conjunction:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Definitely there neither are woods nor miles to draw parallels on inching closer towards the set target, but just an excuse to interpret the similarity...
