Riya is one of the sage poets from India that l personally know of. She doesn’t mince her words. She is a young woman who clearly and concisely puts across her wisdom through poetry. Sometimes being clear, short and precise is an asset in poetry. This is because many people can understand your pieces. In addition, it has been proven less is more. As a friend, Riya always tries to be there for her buddies. As a result, the need to comfort and assure her bossom friend triggered her poetry writing spirit. This indeed proves that in life you can take a bullet or walk through fire for your friend’s sake in order to put a smile on their faces. Thus, this is the case with Riya which she is continuing to do up to now. Furthermore, her poetry never fails to leave her readers feeling relieved and elated. For that reason, this is why poets especially budding ones are encouraged to share their work. In a world filled with so much hurdles, poetry can help assuage these troubles.

HERE IS MY BEST PIECE OF POETRY ACCORDING TO ME.
मजेदार कहानी सुनाने वाले थे वो ज्ञाता,
उसके सिवा हमें कभी कोई और ना भाता,
हमने उनसे सिखा है सिद्धांतों पर चलना,
कभी ना किसी से नफ़रत करना,
किसान, मजदूर, अफसर का किरदार निभाया,
कोई काम बड़ा छोटा नहीं होता ये सिखलाया,
हमारे हार जाने पर भी वो होंसला देते थे,
एक कहानी हर वक्त हमसे कहते थे,
देखो मकड़ी कितनी बार गिरती है उठती है,
जब छोटा सा जीव हार मान नहीं सकता,
हार जीत सिक्कों के दो पक्ष हैं,
कभी हार तो कभी जीत का मौसम सुहाना,
जीवन के पहिए को ऐसे ही चलते जाना है,
दादाजी की यादों में है अब जीवन सारा,
जितना भी था वो वक्त था सबसे प्यारा,
Kindly share your social media handles

Any word of advice to other individuals who would want to venture into poetry
I advise to all writers, one of the best sources of inspiration for poetry is other poems. Grab a few poetry books or check out poems for children from Poets.org or Poetry Foundation. Then, take your favorite phrase or line from the poem and use that as the beginning or inspiration for your own poem. Believe in yourself. One day you will become a good writer who encourages other.
