answers5: Poetry is a very unusual form of writing. It falls into
little pigeon holes. It has rhythm, flow, meter and sometimes rhyme.
It also is filled with emotion and comes from the heart. It has often
occurred to me that I do not exactly understand why people like John
Donne who felt the need to pour his heart out put these tremendous
artificial limits on himself by forcing himself to do so within the
constraints of poetry. Why didnt he just write it in prose? It would
have been so much easier. But for many who are poets, there is only
one way that they can allow that grief and emotion to come out and
that is within poetic restraints. For that reason, poetry is a
singular anomaly. Pax - C.
answers6: poetry is a peice of literature, not quite a song, not quite
a paper, but in between.
answers7: Poetry has had many faces during history. Greek poets
celebrated their gods and heroes in epic verse, Shakespeare wrote for
drama, comedy and satire, and the Soviets used poetry as a propaganda
tool in order to promote communism.
answers8: literary work in which the expression of feelings and ideas
is given intensity by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems
collectively or as a genre of literature.
