TITLE: IMPORTANCE OF WALKING IN CREATING POETRY
ABSTRACT: Walking is an exercise, for mind and body. But in the modern times walking has confined to a mere physical exercise to keep away from ailments like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. But walking is an art which can not only reduce weight and belly but also can produce marvellous poetry. Walking with active senses , open mind, with sensitivity and sensibility, can evoke thoughts, feelings, emotions, and imagination, inspired by the elegance of nature. It enables man to observe and contemplate on both nature and society. Depending upon the environment of walking and the mental and manual manifestations of the poet different genres of poetry takes its birth. In the post-modern era, there is a need to redefine and rejuvenate both poetry and walking, and to explore the scope of productive mind in the process of walking.
