To me poetry is a form of writing in a descriptive way that expresses a thought or a feeling. The first words that come to mind when I think about poetry are rhythm and rhyme but I know not all poems are based on patterns. I see poetry as not being a short story with details of events about occasions, but more about giving value to certain events with the writer’s personal perspective on them. It is based on a free form of expression that allows the reader to explore the inner feelings, thoughts, senses and beliefs of the poet.
This is a very good description of poetry! It describes it in a way that doesn't sound so boring. I am not the biggest fan of poetry, but I am learning that there are all different types of poetry. Many song that i love to sing are poems! I have never thought of them in any form close to a poem. I suppose poetry is not that bad after all!
