Q.4. Creative writing : The Untrodden Path

Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toe nails twinkle, makes you

want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that your bliss

and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own . Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making

music with them.We respect the poetic expression as being a more genuine and honest expression than prose

can ever be.We have a strong appreciation for the young poets of the world. Let your honest emotions flow!

Suggested Sentiments for Poetry- Inspiration Life Goal Temptation Nature Any Proverb

Or any other thought straight from the heart!

Students should note that the outstanding compositions will find place in the English Journal.
