Poetry is one of the creative art form which awakens us to our purpose in life. There are different forms of poetry created by poets across the globe. Each has its own beauty. Each awakens in us a different emotion. I have tried to encompass different forms of poetries and experimented with them in this compilation, this anthology of poetries "THE AWAKENING." It is a bouquet of poesy of various forms from various countries, and also ranges from micro poetries to long odes , ballades and reverse poetries. Thus the reader can enjoy the various hues , and reflect on the nuances of life ,in our sojourn. It encompasses various emotions, seasons, feelings and is a perfect blend of spiritualism and materialism. In this process of travelling the pathway of life we encounter different people, various circumstances ,and with each experience we move one step forward towards our summom bonum and thus awakening to evolve to higher consciousness. "The Awakening" also has a purpose to inspire the readers to explore and experiment with different forms of poetries ,thus an intermingling of culture will happen which will expand ones consciousness.
