Decoding Rhythms: Spoken poetry that hits the right chords

"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language."

~ W.H. Auden

Language is the first love of a poet. If you cannot feel the words you cannot write a beautiful piece of poetry that reaches directly to the heart. Be it in Hindi, Urdu or any other language, more than the literal meaning of the words, it's the feeling and intensity that makes a poem relatable. 

The literature is filled with masterpieces written by evergreen poets. Be it William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Mirza Ghalib, Rahat Indori, Gulzar or Harivansh Rai Bachchan, each one of them has its own style of poetry. Their poetries are so beautiful that they are being read and appreciated even today.

With time Spoken poetry has become a thing. It is because it gives you the freedom to use rhythm, improvise your poetry, use slang or do word play. Many young poets are showcasing their talent in Open Mics by performing in front of a live audience. This encourages them to write more and more relatable poetry. 

Moreover, with the help of YouTube, it has become even easier for them to reach a mass audience. Poets like Amandeep Singh, Sainee Raj, Helly Shah, Nidhi Narwal, Priya Malik, etc. have now become popular names. If you are a poetry lover then listen to these beautifully written rhythmic threads that will make you fall in love with poetry a little more.

This art has undergone several changes since the time of its inception. Now, it has become a full-fledged industry that is coming up with new forms of animation.
