The Poems I Love

The poems I love, are
those which give me wings.
The words become landscapes
for me to soar and glide.

The poems I love, are
those who take me in the now.
Where I can feel the atoms
spinning around

The poems I love; are
which resonate the notes.
Strumming my heartstrings,
like a sitar

The poems I love, are
not just static words.
They keep on returning
like homing birds.

Raj,
One more line to rephrase perhaps?

Where they feed my soul
with rain or sunshine.

Rain and sunshine are very common images and do not add to the meaning, it looks like you simply mean that the poems feed you.
Consider maybe more specific image, like poems quench your thirst or feed your unquenchable need for passion, or replace your regular meal, whatever you think of just make your line more alive.
If this is okay I will prepare it for Instagram whenever it is ready.

IRiz

for coming back to this poem and your suggestion which is appreciated....I will definitely work on that line..once done will let you know so that you can comment again. on the change...

thanks again...

PS: I have made changes. Please review when you find and let me know if they work better than before..

Take me into Now

Yes I think, it is better.
It says what you mean.

IRiz

The poems I like, are
those who take me in the now.
Where I can feel it all
spinning around

Maybe, what do you think?
You have to decide.

IRiz

actually I made a small edit just now. This is good to go on Instagram. Good to know you find this poem worthy to go on Instagram. Has Neopoet's Instagram become active? Where to find it on the site?

When you said that you are done editing I used a fragment of your poem to make an image.
Now I have to delete it and replace with the new.
How about i will make a new post instead?
Later I can delete this one if you want. No problem.
For images like that there is no edditing possible only deleting. This one has a lot of likes I would keep it for awhile. It looks good.

IRiz

IRiz, your idea seems good to me....i didn't know that there is no edit option...you may repost and later on delete the existing....sorry for the trouble...
