Literature

 Literature are the creations that are written and published for people to read and enjoy it. Literature are the expressions and feelings of a creator that are written straight from one’s mind or heart. It is something that cannot be bounded by any rules, limits and boundaries. There are many forms of literature such as story, poem, essay, drama etc. The four known genres of literature are poetry, drama, fiction and nonfiction. Each genre of literature is as beautiful and wholesome as the other.  

Millions of literary works have already been published till date in hundreds of languages. Both the literary works written in a language and its translated versions reflect the beauty of literature that are captured in it and unveil only once it is read and understood. Literature cannot be described within a size limit. It could be as short and sweet as a ‘Haiku’ in a leaflet and as long as the epic “Shakuntal” by Laxmi Prasad Devkota. The short poems about a beautiful evening is also a literature and a length story about three generations is also a literature. Literature is loved by everyone as it creates an illusion of the world that has been described in it, which is why it is said that, “A reader lives thousands of lives before he/she dies”. It simply means that a person who develops habit of reading gets to live and experience everything written in the books.

I enjoy all genres of literature but my favorite one is poetry. A poem is an art of the poem. Like mixing of colours properly creates an art, in the same way playing with words create a poem. A poem usually has two meanings, i.e. the surficial meaning and the meaning hidden in the depth. Although the words in a poem are written subtly, a poem never fails to express the feelings of the poet in front of the audience. It is also known to us that the real melodious songs are actually the poems that have been sung in the tune.
