FAQ: Poetry Therapy by Linda Ashok
Is Poetry Therapy Legit?
Yes. You know what poetry is. Just like Math, some people like poetry and some do not. And yet, the way basic math is indispensable in life, poetry is a necessary tool.
Think of a chameleon or other insects that camouflage with nature to avoid predators. It is not about life being kind or cruel. For these creatures, it is the art of living.
In life, poetry is that biochemical that merges us with our condition to discourage predatory situations and people from preying on us.
Learn to read, write, feel, and implement poetry in life and creative pursuits for better emotional regulation and therapeutic impact.

Before Grandpa Became A Door
Jan 09, 2018, Published in Scroll.in
When things die
they become doors.
You are walking in and out
of such doors. If it is a dear door,
it will shut the rain from drenching
your heart. If it is a door you once met
in a busy metropolis then it is a door
guarding you when
you are waiting for a bus
in an abandoned street.
If that door is your neighbour,
the silence on your record player
is the door’s favourite number
to hold you from falling.
Every lover who left your sad eyes,
every child you never knew
but made the world a little believable,
every worker who crept into your spine
and woke you up to face the sun –
your family, little insects, trees around
and shelters – when they die
they are doors.
This moment when you are reading
about the dead becoming doors,
tread gently, you may be crossing a door.
