Text poetry (Vachana Kavitha), also known as free verse, is a form of poetry that does not follow strict rules of rhyme and meter but instead expresses the poet's emotions and feelings freely while maintaining rhythm. Unlike traditional poetry, it prioritizes emotional expression over formal structure. The father of text poetry in Telugu is Kandukurthi Anjaneyulu. Key characteristics include the absence of rhyme, presence of rhythm, strong emotional expression, and the ability to convey deep meaning in concise words. Poetry serves as a powerful medium to express human experiences, including hardships, joys, sorrows, and hopes, and can bring about positive changes in society.

Poetry is about expressing the feelings in your heart in beautiful written form. If you write with emotion, the poem will be understood. If you just tell information without emotion, it becomes an essay. But if you tell it with intention, it becomes a text poem. It's okay to say that it's a normal thing to write, it's an essay, okay, students' poems, students wrote like this in a training camp, you have to write poetry by putting letters together, you have to express your feelings, sorrows, and thoughts in the form of letters.

Another thing is, don't waste your bloody tears. This is also a statement that shows us many hardships, many sacrifices, and many sufferings in one sentence.
