EDITOR’S PICK - AUGUST 2022

How fevered is the man who cannot look

Upon his mortal days with temperate blood,

Who vexes all the leaves of this life’s book,

And robs his fair name of its maidenhood;

It is as if the rose should pluck herself,

Or the ripe plum finger its misty bloom,

As if a Naiad, like a meddling elf,

Should darken her pure grot with muddy gloom;

But the rose leaves herself upon the briar,

For winds to kiss and grateful bees to feed,

The undisturbed lake has crystal space;

Why then should man, teasing the world for grace

Spoil his salvation for a fierce miscreed?

- John Keats

"The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself."

Nobody else has been through exactly what you’ve been through—and that makes you special. By writing a poem, you can show off your unique perspective on life.

A poet can certainly change the world with his powerful words as they influence mankind in many ways which in turn the society as a civilized one. In addition, the readers can resonate with their own life situations and some incidents. So, poetry is a gateway to the modified globe.

The poets have been filling the pages of Your Space with their evocative compositions on various topics that can be realized, explained, and evaluated by the readers.

“There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.”

How true it is! Interesting and inspiring stories can make readers move, imagine and travel to beautiful places to have hundreds of experiences.

The eminent story writers have been filling the pages with their interesting narratives that are applicable to human lives.

“Different eyes see the same thing differently. This is called an opinion. Respect it.”

Opinions of writers help the readers think and rethink a particular concept many times as value-based opinions are always advantageous.
