ONE CHALLENGE
Poetry
is
a
lot
of
things
to
a
lot
of
people.
"When
I
read
a
book
and
it
makes
me
feel
good
all
over
my
body
I
know
that
is
poetry."
the
poet
uses
everyday
words
to
inspire
just
like
the
Artist
uses
paint
to
bring
out
the
masterpiece
on
his
canvas,
poetry
cannot
be
defined.
There
are
as
many
definitions
of
poetry
as
there
are
of
poets.
For
example,
William
Wordsworth
defined
poetry
as
"the
spontaneous
overflow
of
powerful feelings. Yes, Longfellow was one of my favourite poets.
Poetry
can
make
you
laugh
or
cry
or
yawn,
it
can
make
your
whole
body
shiver
while
doing
nothing."
Some
poet
Carefully
select
words
for
conciseness
and
clarity
is
standard,
but
sometimes
poets
go
well
beyond
this,
consider
such
poem
another
of
my
favourite
“
The
Charge
of
the
Light
Brigade”
word's
emotive
qualities,
its
backstory,
its
musical
rhythm,
tone
of
destruction,
and
even
its
spatial
relationship
to
world
events.
The
poet
Longfellow
through
innovation
in
both
word
choice
and
form
seemingly
rends
significance
from
thin
air
Some
poets
use
gesture
to
narrate,
describe,
argue,
or
define.
To
the
novice,
there
are
equally
numerous
reasons
for
writing
poetry.
But
poetry,
unlike
prose,
often
has
an
underlying
and
overarching
purpose
that
goes
beyond
the
literal.
Poetry
is
evocative.
It
typically
provokes
in
the
reader
an
intense
emotion:
joy,
sorrow,
anger,
catharsis,
love,
etc.
Poetry
can
surprise
the
reader
with
an
unexpected
twist
creating
an
unforgettable
experience
giving
revelation,
insight,
and
further
understanding
of
elemental
truth
and
beauty.
Like
the
poet
Kenvil
Atkins
Lewis's
poem
“
Natural
Mystic”
the
relevant
message
in
his
composition
is
all
the
beauty,
truth
wisdom
of
a
real
world
and
that
is
all one needs to know."
Poetry
can
come
out
as
old,
frail,
new,
and
cerebral.
Is
stronger
and
fresher
than
you
think.
The
poet's
imagination
will
break
those
chains
faster than you can say "Play it again Sam."
What
motivates
people
to
keep
writing
poetry
well
I
would
venture
to
say
it
is
much
faster
to
come
to
life
than
the
best-written
novel
the
writer
are
just
the
first
ones
to
have
the
satisfaction
of
simplicity
on
paper
as
they're
putting
the
words
on
the
page
(and
revising
them).
Ridden and Rhyme
Writing
in
form
doesn't
just
mean
that
you
need
to
pick
the
right
words
but
that
you
need
to
have
correct
rhythm
(prescribed
stressed
and
unstressed
syllables),
follow
a
rhyming
scheme
(alternate
lines
rhyme
or
consecutive lines rhyme), or use a refrain or repeated line.
Rhythm
and
Riddim
is
part
of
poetry
you
may
have
heard
about
writing
a
prize-winning
poem
but
don't
be
intimidated
by
the
jargon,
one
stressed
and
one
unstressed
syllable
makes
for
beauty
or
dullness
of
the
rhythm,
For
example,
look
at
this
line
from
Kenvil’s
poem
“
Near
the
House
Where
Safe
Lives”
which
has
the
repeating
chorus
of
vibrant
syllables bonded: Kenvil is a master at emotional ups and downs.
Not
all
poets
use
the
Rhyme
scheme.
Many
set
forms
follow
a
particular
pattern
to
their
rhyming.
When
analyzing
a
rhyme
scheme,
lines
are
labeled
with
letters
to
note
what
ending
of
each
rhymes
with
which
other.
The
casing
point
takes
this
verse
from
one
of
Kenvil
Atkins
Lewis's
13
love
poems,
“
Molina
With
The
Big
Round
Eyes”
this
poet
takes
you
into a dream like state as if you are the one sitting there.
MOLINA'S BIG ROUND EYES
Sitting in the third row my eyes beheld your beauty fair
The ringing of the class bell awakens my dreamlike state
Black poison eyes hair as silk as the spider web of deception
I thought you walked on air as your shadow balance perfection
School days were happy days indeed when love unfolds rejections
My love for you was at a distance afraid to profess my desire
You saw me as a coward too afraid to speak my love you did not admire
The
first-
and
third-lines
rhyme,
and
the
second,
fourth,
and
sixth
lines
rhyme,
which
means
it
has
not
only
rhythm
but
ridden
many
of
the
lines
because
they
rhyme on alternating lines with a smooth ride that flows on and on and on.

POETRY OASIS
This website created by Kenvil Atkins Lewis Poet
Fictional Novel with a twist of reality, yep something different.
WHAT IS POETRY OASIS?
Kenvil Atkins is the owner of Poetry Oasis, unlike no other his words is made up
of a collection of observation into human nature, the conclusion is that there is a
never-ending battle between good and evil, which makes every day unique and
unusual, causing a daily chain reaction going around in a never-ending cycle.
The poet says in my observation, I witness that there is nothing like an amateur
poet, you just have to be motivate enough to write, for poems are made of
simple words linked together to amuse, encourage, enlighten, embrace, and
provoke one’s intellectual thoughts
POETRY OASIS: is that kind of poetry because of my love for poetry and the
satisfaction it gives me when i read a good poem, my heroes have been few in
the poetry circle, poet such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Alfred Lord
Tennyson, Robert Louis Stevenson are among my poetry heroes, read my latest
book strength and vigilance (Glory Bee ) and just maybe I will become one of
your favourite poet too, thank you. Dear reader you too may want to take up
writing I encourage you to do so with an iron will, there is much joy to be had if
someone is reading your own words a decade later. You will be remembered!
