Poetry ? What's That ?
Well you may ask and be prepared for many answers.
I believe that poetry is the writer's personal expression of emotions, feelings, how beauty is seen, how much pain can be suffered by one person, political opinions and so on and on.
It is the writer's expression of his/her feelings, emotions and opinions and therefore very much subjective. It relates to the writer.
From the reader's point of view the apparent quality, understanding and enjoyment of the poetry will be weighted by the reader's education level, personal taste, and personal opinion.
Any one poem will create different feelings, emotions and comments from its readers.
A really good poem will stir similar feelings in the reader that the writer had about the subject of the poem. Herein lies the poet's skill.
PLEASE NOTE: Assignments will be graded twice a week - usually on Tuesdays and Fridays.
