Poetry

Poetry is a literary form that employs rhythmic and aesthetic qualities of language to evoke emotions and convey ideas. It often uses meter, rhyme, and figurative language, such as metaphors and similes, to create a concentrated and imaginative experience. Unlike prose, poetry often distills complex themes and feelings into a more compact structure, allowing for multiple interpretations and deep emotional resonance. It can encompass a variety of forms, including sonnets, haikus, free verse, and more, and is often characterized by its attention to sound, imagery, and emotional depth. Poetry can serve various purposes, from personal expression to social commentary, and can be performed or read quietly, inviting a unique connection between the poet and the reader.
