“What is Poetry (My Sonnet, My Rules) Any gargoyle can google the definition of a sonnet, Any robot can write and rhyme 14 lines of a sonnet. Number of lines don't make sonnet, Impeccable rhyme don't make poetry. Critics, police and gatekeepers are usually least capable of originality. It's okay if it's few lines extra, It's okay if it's couple lines less. It's okay if it doesn't rhyme at all, It's the soul that matters, not vessels. You're welcome to your dead laws of poetry, while I bring poetry to life, shaping society.”

“A musician doesn’t know how he creates music. A writer doesn’t know how plots come to his mind. A painter doesn’t know why he painted what he painted.
