                   We feel proud to see the second edition of our silver jubilee
                   publication, Gems -II 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
 “All of us        poetry/prose/fiction. 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
 do not have       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

                   organize pictorial poetry exhibition. 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

                   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
 all of us         make a smart compilation of art and poetry where in 86 poems
                   from 47 fellow poets along with their pictures and biodata and 96
                   Illustrative  Pictures  are  involved.  These  pictures  have  been

                   models with which we could make a beautiful pictorial poetry

                   Once again, we repeat our words on a universal truth that reads,
 opportunity       words, lines and poems do". In our opinion this combination of
                   "Pictures, Sometimes though being silent speak much more than
                   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
 to develop        meaning  "as  is  painting  so  is  poetry".  Some  centuries  ago,
                   described  that  ''Ut  pictura  poesis"  is  a  Latin  phrase,  literally
                   Simonides of Keos (c. 556- 468 BC) had stated, ''Poem a pictura
                   loquens & pictura poema silens," which translates into English as
 our talents."     "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.
