Does poetry mean anything to you?

Question

"Poetry Does not mean; but be."

Answer 1

Poetry has been considered the language of magic, the language of love, the language of the heart.

Poetry, when written well, and read with intent add a completely new dimension to writing.

Meter can be hypnotic. Rhyme adds a sense of anticipation that can be either confirmed or derailed by the poet.

While prose can take a person somewhere, poetry can take a person to multiple places at once. The rythm can foretell a part of the story not yet told.

Music takes poetry and removes a bit of the subtlety from it on the one hand, but if well done, adds a new dimension.

Still, poetry can be crass, crude, engaging, pensive, obscure and more.

Some of it means a great deal to me. The poetry of my religion touches me deeply. I love Robert Frost. I love Lewis Carrol, I love such peices as "The Highwayman", "Dark Night of the Soul", and the more whimsical, such as "Jabberwocky" or "The Cremation of Sam Magee". I suppose that it's a big part of my life.

Answer 8

"The poet presents his thoughts festively, on the carriage of rhythm: usually because they could not walk."

We talk so abstractly about poetry, because we are all bad poets.

...but we want to be the poets of our life—first of all in the smallest, most everyday matters.

Answer 9

IT'S A UNIQUE WAY FOR AN ARTIST TO EXPRESS HIS/HER
EMOTIONS VIA WORDS, AS MUCH AS A PAINTER EXPRESSES HIS EMOTIONS THROUGH PAINTING A PICTURE. IN POETRY, YOUR BRUSH STROKES ARE PAINTED WITH WORDS OF RHYME AND COLORS.......
