Poetry

What is poetry???

Poetry, to me, is a unique way of expressing yourself. It usually always has a rhythm to it but most importantly is the way words come together to form emotions.

According to the class:
Way to express your feelings of strong emotions whether it is happiness, sadness, love, or lust
Form of writing that brings the feeling of the person alive in words
Something that comes from the heart
What isn't poetry?
The rhythm of one soul their deepest thoughts, their best and their worst, the good, the bad, the past and present, it's realism, but at times false, passion and joy, crazy youth and old age, unity and separation, hate, but most of all it is the love.
Form of writing to express more complex thought, ideas, and feelings in a more artistic way. Usually has a beat but doesn't always have to rhyme.
Poetry is more felt than it is written
Certain structures- sonnets, haiku, concrete poetry, limericks, epic poems
