It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the new link of Secret Shadow. I am very pleased to bring you in a field of dreams expressed through poetry; a world where imagination takes you wherever you have to go without even taking a physical step into reality. Welcome to the world of the dragon child.

Before you continue reading this, you probably ask yourself this one question; what is poetry? Is it A short piece of imaginative writing, of a personal feeling and placed out in lines. Will this short definition do to describe poetry? Some people might think, “Yes” because it’s short. Poetry is much more than that, it has the ability to touch us somewhere truly deep. It’s in a way a form of art; it represents something of the world, it expresses or evokes emotion, it pleases us by its form, and it stands on its own as something independent and self-defining.

To those who write poetry, it’s a form of self-expression, it becomes a part of us as time goes by and usually it hits us whenever something goes wrong in our lives. I wrote once a poem named “Shadow of poetry”. You won’t find it here but it basically states how poetry has its own language, a language of emotions and it’s found within our souls to express ourselves through paper but because its words sometimes can be so complex to other people that it is soon abandoned and turned into a city of phantom.

Poetry deserves to stay alive because of its philosophical and the simple truths of the aspects that affect our daily lives. So keep reading by clicking at the titles that pleases you the most. Each poem has its own picture and background. I tried to find backgrounds not too bright so you can read at ease.
