Poetry: writing that
formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience, in language
chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through meaning,
sound, and rhythm.
Poetry means different
things to different people. For me, it is all about feelings. If it captures
the emotions of the reader, a poem will resonate and fill the soul. It can mean
everything to one person and not much at all to another. The mood of the reader
and no-one else determines the outcome.
For example, love poems
are wonderful when you are in love and their passion is amazing. If you are
facing adversity, however, love poems likely will just annoy or even anger you.
