Hi, i am a student of electrical engineering at IIT Madras. I think its not the "rhyme" which make poetry but its ability to articulate human emotions. The best part of poetry being it might mean different to everyone and still give us same feeling. Do you think the same? Let me know what you think about my blog and give me an opportunity to read and review yours.

I agree with you Vaibhav. Poetry is, indeed, a way to express human emotions.

Harish thank you for the review. 

I agree that everyone is capable of writing poetry, but good or bad is subjective. Likewise everyone can be a  writer , everyone can make a film and everyone can paint.

Your definition of poetry seems to exclude emotions as an integral part which makes it different from my definition. I think articulating ones emotions rather than just perspectives and views makes a good poem. 

I will try posting more frequently :-)

Emotion is just a feeling, more like an intermediate to initiate the process, a directive, if I cannot feel what am I, most certainly not a human. People misunderstand emotions for pity, sorrow, hapiness but it can be anything, driven by anything. May be it stems from the fact that when someone cries we say "the person is very emotional", what about an angry man, he could be emotional as well. However views are more of an end result. They go along, cannot be parted. One stimulates another.

So may be you could remove the word rather, instead use with. Because when your emotions come onto that piece of paper, what do you call them, I guess "views" not emotions. Emotions are depicted, while views are presented.

I cannot prove it scientifically because till date it hasn't been.

However I can explain you with Freud's psychoanalytical theory(proved and tested).

Mind or psyche has 3 psychic apparatus id, ego and super ego. id acts according to the "pleasure principle", seeking to avoid pain or unpleasure aroused by increases in instinctual tension. The mind of a newborn child is regarded as completely "id-ridden" in the sense that it is a mass of instinctive drives and impulses, and needs immediate satisfaction. Part of id eventually develops into structured ego.

The theme of "belief" is directly addressed by Sigmund Freud in a note accompanying a letter to Wilhelm Fliess dated May 31, 1897. Belief is described as a phenomenon belonging entirely to the ego system (consciousness), without any unconscious equivalent

Now I and you very well know that I love my mother since I was a child. According to the theory, this certainly cannot be belief because I was id-ridden when i was a child. I think I have proved my point. If you still don't understand this i will urge you to read psychoanalytical theory.

If you challenge Freud I would just call you adamant :-)
