Poetry In Motion

I was most pleasantly surprised when I happened to chance upon a webpage titled, Poetry In Motion. Backed by the Poetry Society, the PIM organization places poems in trains and buses so that they can please and enlighten commuters. I haven't seen one of the so-called placards during my jaunts abroad but I have often wondered how commuters might be impacted with a beautiful poem.
I have written some poems myself. Friends have appreciated them but I am always critical of my work and until now have refrained from publishing them anywhere.
Poetry, to me, is like a fleeting fancy. There are times when you want to say something and all you can think of is mouthing rhymes that reflect your emotions or the message you want to convey. And then there are times when you just cant think of a single rhyme no matter how hard you tried. I am like that. I once tried to write a poem just like that and ended up nursing a headache. And then at times I have come up with a few verses of poem for no apparent reason.

I really do admire real poets who can weave beautiful thoughts into poems. Much like a jeweller who sorts through the most perfect of pearls and puts together a string of little moons.
No infallable advice can be imparted to poet wannabes on how to write a poem. I guess all it takes is for the muse to hit you. Use your imagination to enhance the feeling inside you and with a little bit of practise you can write a poem too. Once you have written something make a few copies and give them away. Or you could choose to leave them in public places to brighten or encourage someone, and in the process you would have done your good deed for the day.
