July 4th, 2010

it has been days
and days
since i have felt poetry


Definition: Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response.

Poetry has been known to employ meter and rhyme, but this is by no means necessary.

Poetry is an ancient form that has gone through numerous and drastic reinvention over time.

The very nature of poetry as an authentic and individual mode of expression makes it nearly impossible to define.


i love when a definition ends by unraveling itself.
