When / why did you start writing poetry? – answers in adjectives

How do you write a poem? – answer in five verbs.

I don’t  wait  to  come  inspiration

It  drips  in  drops

I  like  drafting  multiple  times

At  first  i  doodle  the  waves  erupts  in  me

Then  i  decipher  the  doodle  and  format  it


What is your definition of what experimental poetry is?

Life  has  many  hidden  mysteries. We  are  unacquainted with the bulk  of  it. Experimental  poetry  is a deterred  path  from  traditional  one  to  search for new  mysteries  and  facades.  It  is  effacing  boundaries  and    searching  nondualism. In  Hinduism  non dualism  is the core   of  spirituality.  To  discover  it  just  experiments  among  fragments  and  deconstruction.  Poetry  is  the  most  difficult  part  of  art  and  experimental  poetry  is   a  bead   in  its  endless  chain.

Do you tell your social circle about your poet-ing?\

Yes, I like  to  share  in  my  literary  groups  on social  media. I  share  it  mainly  for  their  critical  opinion.


How do you rebel?

Make  the  subject a laughing  stock. Humor  is the most  lethal  weapon. I  like the dark  humor of  postmodernists.
