Poetry Paragraph

Alright, so I said that I would post my feelings on poetry later. Being two and a half weeks later, and the day that this blog is due, I figure now is good as any time to be "later". 


To me, poetry is art, in words. Poetry is the expression of a feeling or emotion through words. Many of the most famous poems are about love, be they grieving or ecstatic. Love is a very strong emotion that is not yet understood, and this is why many poets write about love. Poetry is the way that people are able to pour out their emotions and let them be viewed and felt by the rest of the world. Poems can be about anything and everything; they can provide comic relief, share feelings, depart knowledge, and entertain people of all ages. In a way, because of how poetry is within us and around us, poetry is life. Poetry is an essential part of life that makes the great journey more heartfelt and worthwhile.




To top it off, here's a quick little haiku 
poem that I wrote about poetry:


Around us, in us,
Anything and everything,
Life is poetry.
