To calm down the storm inside. To flush out the suppressed emotions. To share personal experiences. To initiate discussion on difficult topics.

Words appear in random order, often without context. Writing poetic compositions brings clarity of thought. Weight of insecurities gets a respite in a rhythmic beat. Whispers of the soul get a creative outlet.

Ideas can be percolated efficiently. Inspiration can be achieved quickly. Space to raise a voice can be created safely. Solitary contemplation can continue permanently.

This poem is written in response to Indubala Kachhawa’s W-9 prompt for Paper Poetry:

Carolyn Hastings’s sonnet is such a lovely celebration of this day:
