obviously 23-Sep-06, 03:43	What is poetry? What is poetry? What is the purpose of poetry?
rilke 23-Sep-06, 09:11	poetry Poetry is hard to define,and no two readers may accept precisely the same definition.Yet readers across the centuries have known when they are in presence of authetic poetry. To a great extent,they have been able to agree upon who the greatest of the poets are. Poetry's purpose is to find the beauty of life. Is to see life new,fresh, and for finding beauty and wonder. For this purpose the poet must have the capacity for finding the right words to communicate his vision to the reader's words that will keep his vision fresh and alive forever.

amitanandan 04-Nov-06, 21:36	what is poetry it is the result of pen making love to the paper it is the gentle whisper of a lonely soul it is a baby's first breath it is a hand reaching out it is an assurance you are not alone Amita
amitanandan 04-Nov-06, 21:41	Ralph Waldo Emerson The people fancy they hate poetry, and they are all poets and mystics.
slyfox4323 05-Nov-06, 06:00	What poetry is to me For me poetry is a form of self expresion or a way to release feelings you have bottled up inside. I have been writing for about 10 years now, but I rarely ever let people read them because I write them for me. When it comes to my feelings I (like most guys) don't let them show because i'm afraid people will think me weak. So I write them on paper instead. This is probably why I don't let people read them because it would be showing them my soul, something i'm not quite comfortable with : )

chrisobee 18-Jun-07, 19:27	TS Eliot " Poetry is not a a turning loose of emotion but an escape from emotion; it is not an expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have emotions and personality know what it means to want to escape from these things. "
ribbleton 19-Jun-07, 11:11	Poetry Some poems express what the poet really does not feel and some not expressing what they really do.
friki 19-Jun-07, 15:33	POETRY Poetry Is the arranging of words on a page to create an effect. The purpose of poetry is to celebrate the mundane, undermine the sublime and communicate that 20% we normally cna't express.
chrisobee 20-Jun-07, 15:53	Unlike slyfox I write poetry specifically for others to read. Some are based on my own emotions and experiences, others are not. Either way it makes no difference, the more people who read and hopefully enjoy them the better, that's why I have them posted on several internet sites!
ribbleton 21-Jun-07, 07:01	Poetry is Truth? In the society of men the truth resides now less in what things are than in what they are not. Our social realities are so ugly if seen in the light of exiled truth, and beauty is no longer possible if it is not a lie
ribbleton 21-Jun-07, 08:23	Chrisobee Chrisobee might rightly point out that the poet is a kind of barometer but let him not forget that he is also a part of the weather.

louderback 15-Apr-10, 08:55	My poetry class instructor ...gave my class of some 20 students the assignment of asking "two or three" people what their definition of poetry was. The two responses I got from friends were: "Thoughts that don't reach the edge of the page" and "Beautiful ideas or images that cannot be expressed as simple prose" my instructor's reaction to 50+ definitions? "You're all wrong. Poetry is whatever you say is poetry." What an ass. I wanted badly to drop my pants and leave a steaming pile on his desk with a note affixed, "Poetry".
obsteve 15-Apr-10, 09:32	heheh! "poetry in motion"
obsteve 16-Apr-10, 08:16	the instructor's reaction should have been (in order not to have been contradictory) "you are all right . Poetry is whatever you say is poetry" Damnyouteachers
obsteve 16-Apr-10, 08:17	If I was your teacher I would have given your "steaming pile and affixed note" an A++

hebrit 06-Aug-10, 10:34	Poetry Poetry is whatever makes you react and say : Hey! my day has not been lost. I hardly ever read poetry. I find poetry in music. Of course, a song is poetry embelished with music, but pure music can be poetry. Like a painting, a film, prose, sunset, making love.
