Have you declared a post route in your routes.php/web.php depending on your laravel version? — pseudoanime
yeah i have actually Route::resource('posts', 'PostsController'); — Fusionist
how about trying the url form of form then? eg: {!! Form::open(['url' => 'posts']) !!} Don't forget to close the form with {!! Form::close() !!} — pseudoanime
i did not wanted to do that. i tried url form and it works but i wanted to make it work without the url version. — Fusionist
ok, then can you try Form::open(['action' => 'PostsController@store'']) ? Same as above, close the Form after finishing. — pseudoanime

Your action is wrong. You should use url not action or controller name. Try this:

<form method='POST' action='{{route('posts.store')}}'>

route helper generates url by route name. In your case it will return http://yourdomain/posts
