The digital world has provided an accessible and free platform for both artists and their audience to enjoy and consume art. Contemporary poetry has become one of the fastest-growing genres, and it seems to be getting bigger and better. One of the main reasons for this is that, now, poetry is out and front, readily available. While the classic poems were meticulous and difficult to navigate, contemporary poems have come to be in easier language, dealing with our day-to-day lives in the creative use of words. These poems also seem to feed the aesthetic needs of the audience. More importantly, it has also opened an avenue for women, people of colour, and other marginalised communities to showcase their words and rhythms, which was otherwise an arena just for elites and men only.
In this light, we have some poets and their smooth flowing words.
Arunoday Singh
Arunoday Singh, who goes by the username, ‘sufisoul’, on Instagram, is truly replicant of his username selection. Arunoday’s poems are soulful indeed, as we see his page filled with poetries expressing his and our thoughts eloquently. His pen inks the paper with not just one genre of poetries, but everything ranging from the mundanity of life to the struggles and hardships, to love and friendship. Also, we may just also appreciate Arunoday’s beautiful handwriting as well! His Instagram poetry page will also fill your aesthetic needs!
Tuheena Raj
Tuheena Raj and her words have an enormous tranquillity over them. With each word, she captures the essence of a multitude of feelings. Browsing through her Instagram page, one can come across not only short poems but also think pieces and paragraphs, which are as unequivocally crystalline with emotions as her poetries. Through her poems, Tuheena faces her audience by simplifying the incomprehensible feelings into beautiful coherent words, as the one featured here.
Sonia Sabins
Sonia Sabins’ style of writing is descriptive and realistic. One can often find solace, calmness and clarity reading her words and thoughts. Her writings deal with friendships, love, mental health, and above all, the importance of loving oneself, and realising one’s worth. As her bio says, “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think”, stands true for all of her think pieces. The plethora of words stringed with simplicity and easiness will definitely leave you to ponder over a lot of aspects of our life.
