Writing Spiritual Poetry

1 Jamal 164 B.E. – Saturday, April 28, 2007

Writing any genre of poetry is difficult, but composing spiritual poetry may be more difficult then any other. When you start to write you begin with the inspiration and then you attempt to put the inspiration on paper or type it into a document file. This is where the “fun” begins. It’s not easy transforming the inspiration into a poem. Once you write the words and put them into the form of stanza and line or a prose poem, you have to decide if it reflects the idea you had to begin with. Sometimes it does, however, most of the time it doesn’t, when it happens then you rewrite until you get it as close as you can your original idea.
