Beyond the letters

Dishika Deepak Iyer

A poem is an ecosystem, Made by: Reefs of nouns, adverbs and other parts of speech Feasted on by tiny fishes of metaphors and similes, Predator sentences that devour these fishes, Zigzagging through punctuations and pebbles, In the setting of themes and motifs, Maintaining the delicate balance of a language.
