Me: Poetry is emitting one's current thoughts or beliefs in free verse or intended form.


Class:
-Poetry is a type of writing which consists of several different devices which wraps it all together as a melodic piece of writing.
-Poetry is when someone writes down what is on their mind and composes it however they wish.
-Poetry is a song without music.
-Poetry is music without notes. Its writing full of passion emotion and depth. It is the embodiment of the soul. You can't write a good poem you aren't passionate about, it requires everything you have.
-A creative take on any subject using creative writing. Sometimes using rhymes other times just flowing smoothly.
-Are words that are written by poets that put in all their emotion into it, hoping to evoke emotion out of the reader.
