Poetry [What's Poetry????]

Definition: Poetry is a kind of literary art that uses language for its aesthetic to express feelings

Example: 
Wild Nights
by Emily Dickinson

Wild nights. Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!


Futile the winds
To a heart in port
Done with the compass
Done with the chart.


Rowing in Eden.
Ah, the sea.
Might I but moor
Tonight with thee!


Significant: Poems are important to everyone everywhere throughout the history of writing and reading of mankind. People can express the feelings they can't express using other forms through poem. Through poems, we can understand more about the beauty of our language, we can also learn how to use them in many different ways.
