Literature is ART. Like a blank canvass, its possibilities are endless. The writer is the artist;the words, his medium. Literature triggers countless emotions-an evidence that we live and not merely exist. It is a bridge from the writer to the reader. Lives are changed from the ideals we read or even from the stories we share. I can share so much as how reading and writing changed the way I see the world. Through reading other people's works, I was able to catch a glimpse of reality through their eyes and to travel the world while even in my seat. :) Here's a short poem I read about what Literature is:
"Literature is a fantasy world.
Literature is emotions unfurled.
Literature is the mind's paintbrush.
Literature is a heart's soft touch.
Literature is imagination.
Literature is sleep deprivation.
Literature is my greatest bane.
Literature is my favourite game.
Literature is birds on wing.
Literature is...
Everything."
