Features: Reading poetry is a wondrous encounter with wisdom, a flash of inspiration, a stirring of the soul, and an indescribable sense of emotion. Reading poetry can cleanse the dust of the spirit, pierce the of emotion, and ignite a magical allure. Reading poetry leaves us with lingering fragrance in our mouths and light in our hearts. Unfortunately, any explanation of poetry can only be prose. If translation means loss, then the reader is also the translator. Guiding others through poetry is undoubtedly a clumsy task. Poetry is without definitive interpretation, and its rich characteristics allow for multiple readings of a single poem. What I provide is merely a perspective, while your perspective resides in your heart. Reading poetry requires your insight and your sensitivity. When poetry slips through the window and prose enters through the door, if our hearts hold a touch of poetry, life becomes more worth cherishing. This lyrical poetry reader for life has selected poems closely related to human growth, hoping to be verses that accompany you throughout your life. So, read poetry, and please enter the world of poetic meaning.
