Poetry is a feeling

Poetry can be defined as an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities. It consists largely of  literary works in which language is used in a manner that is felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose.1

Poetry is a feeling,which is enriched by the thoughts and feelings of the individual who writes.Poetry is feminine grace and a masculine strength.2

The muse of poetry is seldom reckoned in the fullest connotations of the term,3

Poetry is in the eye of the beholder,in the reader who feels beauty within,he experiences ethereal feelings even as he reads the opus.4

Poetry is written for as much the subtlety inasmuch her straightforward attribute.5

We say that rhymes are forced,why should we use the adjective forced,whence the language gives us a similarly sounding word to be aligned parallel to our thoughts and make reading a beautiful exercise,a song to our lips and love in our heart.6

Arent metaphors forced?7

The willful premonition of a person to write,in itself is Poetry.8

The poetic brilliance of so many great poets enthralls us even today and these illustrious men remain etched with Love’s acid in our minds.9

The form they used was simple..they let their thoughts do the writing!10

Then when we sit and plan a poem,there itself poetry gets killed.11

Poetry is inspiration on paper..pun unintended.12

Poetry will always be with me in everything I do.13

    Excellent

    I so agree! Poetry is a song in our head that dances around until we let it out, mine pour out like wet watercolors sometimes, colorful and almost unknown to me, I could not repeat them! All in a gush, they come, sometime from places unknown, subjects not touched upon even in my own mind! So where does it come from, I think our souls, when a person is accused of forcing rhyme I always think it mean, what difference, searching for the right words...who hasn't stumbled here? Grasping at the word that feels right to the writer, that is the importance, not the reviewer. Although a critical review can be helpful, it can also be hurtful, with that intention in mind to boot. I always find the author page and discover their age, experience, so on, then I either take them into consideration or not, I do not let anyone change my heartfelt work. Some of my better work has come from these rushes I have, I do believe these are ethereal happenings since I am in no way in control. I so enjoyed your viewpoint and thought I would share mine. Thank you for your great piece of writing, both interesting and thought provoking.
