Poetry

This poem was inspired by “I dwell in Possibility” by Emily Dickinson. Thank you!

Poetry…what is poetry?

Is it a group of lines and stanzas

That are aligned across paper

In a melodious fashion?

Does its message outshine its format;

Therefore is “free” from its “verse”?

From ballads to haikus, all forms of poetry have one main goal:

To send a message.

These messages are transformed

From prose, then broken into lines and stanzas.

Odes, sonnets, and other “cultures”

Make up the world of poetry.

                                                                                       

What makes a poem beautiful?

What makes a poem meaningful?

Poetry can evoke feelings and change thinking.

No single definition can define such writing.
