Book excerpt: : Poetry is so important because it helps us understand and appreciate the world around us. Poetry's strength lies in its ability to shed a “sideways” light on the world, so the truth sneaks up on us. Many of us feel angry, frustrated, sad, or fearful from time to time. However, because these feelings are unpleasant, we often keep them locked up inside of us. Writing and reading poetry help us let these feelings out and also better understand them. It is a form of writing that uses words to create a picture, sound, or feeling. Poetry has its own sound, form, image, and rhythm; therefore, qualifying it as a form of art. Poetry is great at asking questions, at destabilising and making us look at things in a different way, incorporating a diversity of voices of ways of thinking. That's what poetry is for. So it's a very powerful medium for diverse voices to speak and for other people to then listen to those voices. Poetry also called verse is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language. A poet is the conveyer of peace and happiness bringing the mirror of the society along with the replica of the reality and continues to wash the cloudy minds. The people are given the opportunities to be unblemished sharpeners. Like a coin, everyone passes through both sides and the game of day and night moves in a circle and teaches the ultimate reality of life. Sometimes a stumbled man blames the hardness of the road without caring for himself. When he understands his own absent mindedness; thinks the futurity of a mighty tree from the root to the leaf and collects the limitless soothsaying. This deep thoughtfulness pulls him to an artistic world for drawing the lines of literature. The wonderful assimilation “AURORA” is an art of poetic composition of 135 poems. This is a collection of emotional expressions glistened in an inked bouquet. The recitation floats on the reality of life, the psalm of revelation and the eulogy of love for the whole universe.
