I am a lover of poems and poetries and is very passionate abut this.My favourite ones are Emily Dickinson,Pablo Neruda,Robert Frost.I also used to get motivation from them for my writing as I als used to compose poems for my own satisfaction and pleasure.You can have a look into my works in Associated Content: 1.TheArmageddon(Arin March) 2.Faces Of Life(Arin March) Both are reflections of my thinking about what life is-the irony of life and the real meaning of life .I am a firm believer in peaceful coexistence of all human race as brothers and sisters living in a closely knit family, irrespective of caste,race,nationality,gender and colour.These are all man made and has no significance if thought upon deeply.And I believe we all have the responsibilities to make this world a living Paradise by stopping all sorts of violence,hatred,terrorism where men kills men and in turn insults humanity .What is your view point in this ?Do you believe that the power of writing in forms of poetry can bring a mass awareness in this matter?

I haven't been reading too much poetry lately. I used to read quite a bit, but it's more difficult to find English books in China. Now I have to settle for reading some more contemporary poets online in literary journals.

I love poetry, both reading and writing it. In my opinion, poetry is a wonderful way to communicate and draw awareness to different topics. I know that my own awareness has been affected by various poems I have read.
