Our Silver Jubilee Binder- III

We feel proud to see third edition of our silver jubilee
publication, Gems-III in your hands. We are thankful to all dear
poets, readers, models and artists who have been participating in
our projects on different themes but one concept of pictorial
poetry/prose. They have made our works beautiful and enjoyed
the grace of their pictorial poetry compositions. This concept of
pictorial poetry has totally changed the shape and definition of
poetry. Earlier the poetry books were kept in racks of Libraries
but pictorial poetry anthologies have come out to be on the coffee
tables. Now they have reached to hotels rooms, restaurants,
public libraries, meeting places and so many other venues. This
concept has widened its scope with which we can organize
pictorial poetry exhibition also. Last year we happened to launch
a pictorial poetry exhibition first in the world at Kathmandu,
Nepal from 20th to 27th April 2019. It was highly successful and
achieved "Golden Book of World Records".
Our Gems project is being published and launched by our
international group, World Pictorial Poetry & Art Forum © and
its 33 branches in the world. We have put our sincere efforts to
make a smart compilation of art and poetry where in 72 poems
and 40 paintings from 36 fellow poets and 8 artists along with
their pictures, biodata & 36 Illustrative Pictures are involved.
These pictures have been downloaded from Pixabay.com,
pexel.com and are of our eve models. We are thankful to picture
download sites and our models with which we could make a
beautiful pictorial poetry binder.
Once again, we repeat our words on a universal truth that reads,
"Pictures, Sometimes though being silent speak much more than
words, lines and poems do". In our opinion this combination of
pictorial poetry works as if they were soul and a body. While going
through the history of pictoria poesy or pictorial poetry it has
been found that the "poet is an artist first." Also it has been
described that ''Ut pictura poesis" is a Latin phrase, literally
meaning "as is painting so is poetry". Some centuries ago,
Simonides of Keos (c. 556- 468 BC) had stated, ''Poem a pictura
loquens & pictura poema silens," which translates into English as
"Poetry is a speaking picture & painting is a silent poetry." It will
not a wrong statement if we say, ''Poet is an artist of words, of
feelings and of thoughts who paints in one's heart; Without
making it cry, without letting it bleed. Here we are of the opinion
that Poem is a feel framed in thoughtful words. We had made
them lifetime memories with our creativity.
Please submit your review for our future improvements.
