“A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, homesickness, and lovesickness – Robert Frost” Poets are the artists who are like painters who paint their imagination on a piece of paper in the form of wonderful words that flow like air, and carry the message of their feelings. The greatest poet in the whole universe is God, who created all the beautiful things that enriches the cosmos. Most poets in the world see the beauty of God in every aspect of life, which is what makes them an Award winning poet. They pour their heart into the words that come out of their soul which depends on the situation that the poet’s mind has captivated. It may be the sorrow of loss, or the delight of love, those are the emotions that you can feel when you read the true art of an Award Winning poet.  What truly matters for a poet is being true to his nature, and his heart. If he is trying to create something for his own Ego, then it would reflect in his work which is not the requisite for a true Award Winning poet. He/ She has to set themselves apart from the world and the fast flow of the modern world to true get into what they want to convey through the poem they wish to create.

The Award Winning poet above all has the love of the language; it is the medium through which he tries to reach out to the world. They do not attempt to draw out their creative juices just for the sole purpose of being patted on the back, or even a shallow thought of being the best. It is to bring life into the world, change it into a world they expect it to be. Award Winning poet uses the language in a matter with absorbs all the moments in their lives that makes them who they are today.  It may be even the loss of someone dear to them, which makes home into the poem in the form of tears. It may also be moments of absolute bliss that they have felt and want to capture the moment to share with the world, and a poem gives them the power to capture that moment in time.

The poetry an Award Winning Poet creates is endowed with the intricate feelings that flows through his/her heart and veins. There is a delicate flow of energy that eventually seeps into the hearts and mind of the patron.  But the audience is always different; they may not see the fine nuances that the Award Winning Poet is trying to convey. Every person in the world is made differently, and has different personality, not only that the moods and the emotional state we are in changes how we perceive things. The way an average individual that comes across the creation of an Award Winning Poet, he may perceive the poem in his own way. In a way, he gets to look at the world in new light each and every time he reads the work of art. Eventually, they may see what the Award Winning Poet is trying to communicate through the words, which has a piece of their soul in it.
