Poetry

Well Honestly poetry is more then writing a few words down that rhyme. That isn't what makes poetry beautiful and a work of art. Poetry is a way to show how you feel and to create a picture with words. Poets aren't lazy dead beats who have nothing better to do then write either. They are intellectual and artistic. it's hard to put the words together just right; to where you can give off the emotion you want to. Poetry has been around for a long time and there are many forms to it. There isn't just rhyming there's Haiku, free form, and many many more. Poetry is something that comes from the heart. A lot of people think that poetry is a dead art form; when it's very much a live.

(A short poem by me)
Passion
The reddest rose the edges dying,
and fading away like the wind.
The heat of passion in
it's fiery petals.

(a haiku by Natsume Soseki)
Over the wintry

forest, winds howl in rage

with no leaves to blow.

by Soseki (1275-1351)
