Description

Have you noticed that the "old" way of thinking about and writing poetry has become more fluid?

The old definitions went something like this:

What is poetry?

Poetry is language that is written following specific patterns, rhythms, structures, and/or rhymes to express ideas and emotions. Poetry is usually used to express deep, dramatic, exaggerated, and intense feelings, emotions, or ideas.

What is a simple definition of a poem?

A poem is a piece of writing that uses imaginative words to share ideas, emotions or a story with the reader. A person who writes a poem is called a poet. Many poems have words or phrases that sound good together when they are read aloud.

• Have fun

• Experience Joy

• Manifest Healing

• Open you to Forgiveness
