What is Poetry?

Literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas. 

We used different style and rhythm when we read poem.

In other word, it is a quality of beauty and intensity of emotion regarded as characteristic of poems.

As for me, it is an art form which human expressing their feeling and to convey meaningful messages when they can’t speak.

Nature of Poetry

Poetry can be differentiated most of the time from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a more expansive and less condensed way, frequently using more complete logical or narrative structures than poetry does.
