Poetry

I have never really liked poetry. I like how beautiful they can be but I've never enjoyed writing my own.

I think poetry is a form writing that conveys a message from the author in a distinct style and rhythm. Sometimes this meaning can be clear or vague to the reader. A poem needs to express an idea or feeling, have verses, and rhythm. Poetry is different from other types of writing because it uses less worlds and is more artistic and musical than other forms of writing.

"Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during the moment." - Carl Sandburg

I like this quote because it explains how poetry gives people the freedom to interpret a poem however they want. It explains how there isn't just one right answer and how only the writer knows its true meaning.
