Nadia Umber Lodhi -(poetess,article writer )
A poem is a form of art in which the skillful choice and arrangement of words achieves a desired emotional effect. Poet Percy Bysshe Shelly defined poetry as "the expression of the imagination." Robert Frost said that a poem forms when "an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."
Words are the medium of poetry. In poetry, words are arranged in lines and stanzas rather than sentences and paragraphs. Lines and stanzas contribute to the visual element of a poem and enhance the reader’s overall experience by providing places to pause and rest stops to consider a change in subject matter. Another hallmark of poetry is that it uses few words to create high impact. Therefore, the poet chooses his words economically, using specific combinations of words and literary devices to produce vivid imagery and pack meaning into each line.

"Love of A Poetess "
You are love of a poetess, my beloved,
Reflects from my words ever,
Forget you never,
My passion increase ever,
My Love decrease never ,
You are love of a poetess, my beloved
You are the Magic of a words magician,
You are the business of a pain earner,
I shall write departure, loneliness and tears,
I shall describe fears,
And earn income.
You are love of a poetess , my beloved
I shall sell dreams, earn profit,
How can I gain loss,
No Never, my dear
I sold my heart, my dear
One and Only wealth I have.

Impact of blood is more powerful than rearing ,
It's calculated decision, ,

Training Never compete nature ,
Affection never beats Impact of blood ,
Impact of blood is more powerful than rearing,
Kids are human beings ,
They are not sinners ,
They are innocents ,

Don't break their Beautiful dreams ,
Please don't.

Flowers surrounded by blossom,

Every day is Father's Day ,
With him , Every moment is a hope of Ray ,

He is generous like god ,
He is kind like Lod,
Oh my dear father I love you so .
