The Importance Of Poetry In Poetry

Poetry is an art that has been passed down from generation to generation; it acts as a way to express emotion or to show a message to readers. In 2017, it is not as popular as it was in the past as many believe it is a common art left behind in the new era of technology. Although many students may call it it to be boring or something they are not interested in, it does have some relevance in today's world. Poetry can show the reader true emotional perspective, just by reading a single stanza. Today, most people are afraid to show what they are feeling. If just a few words on paper allow an individual to be free, then yes, in 2017 poetry is still relevant. Secondly, formulating poetry requires specific mental skills; skills in showing complex thoughts, using poetic devices, and many more literary techniques. This knowledge is something every student can benefit and grow from as an individual. Some may call it old school, but the benefits of learning poetry will remain relevant for a very long time.

One of the most beautiful parts about poetry is that you are free to write however you want. There is no stencil or cookie cutter templet to writing good poetry, and if you compare poems from any two poets, no two will be alike. One reason for this is that you are free to write you poem in your own language. This freedom is what allowed Sekou Sundiata to finally get into poetry. He states, "there was a hit song by James Brown which had that line, so it was a slang term, but this man made literature out of it and that really enabled me.

Poets, and the poetry they write, are fundamental to the society in which they exist. The Modern poet is no exception. With words as weapons, the poet often challenges the very beliefs that underpin their civilisation and cause their fellow citizens to reflect on the status quo. It is the effectiveness of the literary devices the poet uses that often means the message is felt at a heart level, not just the head. An essay can give a dissertation on an important topic but it is the poet, using anything from personification to onomatopoeia, metaphor to assonance, that creates such

Looking around on an average day, things seem very basic and plain, but by investing your time into reading such works as poetry, we are able to dive deeper into the atmosphere around us. Christopher Hart, writing "Drunk on Words: Why You Should Read Poetry Daily, explained how "Poetry, at its very best, inserts an image into your mind which becomes un-banishable, un-impeachable. It gives you new ways to experience the world and express your thoughts". The mud seems to be wiped away from our eyes and the world that is filled with color, is now filled with words and

A renowned slam poet called Sarah Kay is a personal inspiration of mine, she says that she writes poems so she can figure out her life. She does is so she can understand concepts, so that by the end of the poem she can understand it. Teaching poetry to young children can help them write their own so they can understand concepts and ideas.

Poems are just another way to voice the opinions that the authors have. You will find poems that have point of view of soldiers from both side describing events that happened on the battlefield or you have poems that voice the hurt that the union felt when the south secced. You also find poems that talk of loss and sorrow

Many people think that poetry is a beautiful thing to either listen to or even write about. Personally, I don’t like to write poetry because I believe that it is very boring. It is just not that interesting to me at all personally. I love to write anything from short stories to essays, but I do not like to read and write poetry. The one and only thing I enjoy and like about poetry is listening to someone who is really good at writing poetry and reading it aloud to people.

Poetry to this day is has a remarkable influence on music despite it’s genre which could be rap or country music. Poetry allows individals to express their innermost feelings and thoughts buried deep within.  There are several ways poetry can be used

I have never really been a fan of poetry. Doing all the research about my poem “The Raven”, the author of my poem, and all the other research I did has really made me appreciate poetry more than I did before. Seeing what the poets do to convey everything they want to through just words Is amazing. Not only do they use those words to say what they want to say but they also use words to set the mood and make the reader really feel like they are apart of the poem. Memorizing one single poem was difficult, then repeating It to another person was an experience all of its own. I could not Imagine being a poet and constantly writing new pieces, and them reciting them to other people for them to critique and criticize. I also learned a lot of new things

In the article by Kristina Robertson, “Writing Poetry with English Language Learners,” the author highlights the benefits to writing poetry as a way for students to experiment with English without the grammatical and structural limitations of academic writing. Poetry can be used to facilitate a feeling of comfort with language without pressure. In addition to allowing them the freedom to practice English, this method also helps them feel included by eliciting poetry based on their own lives and “rich life experiences that range from memories of their home culture to saying good-bye to loved ones and adjusting to a new life in the U.S.” The initial stage of the process is to expose students to different types of poetry. As with any text reading,

If I were poet, I would write poetry for many reasons, but the most important reason is to express myself. Writing poems is the best to express yourself, because you can write a sad poem if you felling sad. Also, you can write love poems and spinning when you are falling in love. It represents what I

Poetry is a form of English that I like to call free. I say it is free because there are no boundaries to what you can say and there is no wrong way to write poetry. Poetry allows the act of expression to exist without the consistency of having to worry about punctuation, complete sentences, and length. Another aspect of poetry I enjoy is the interpretation one receives while reading. A poem can have many interpretations because no two people think alike or read things the same.

Writing poetry allows open doors into worlds never discovered before. Using similes and metaphors allows me to express feelings about being in and experiencing nature. As well, poetry allows exploration of nature, discovering what can lie behind the facade of a waterfall or a forest. Analyzing poems is just an opportunity to glean insight to other people’s thoughts. Often, when we read poems, we do not spend enough time to discover the meaning past the words on the page. Invented forms of poetry is another way to enjoy creating poetry. Having fun and expressing thoughts can allow freedom to compose the most expressive types of poetry. Even though the traditional forms of poetry are more structured, they can still allow personal thoughts to

           Some people can't get that kind of humour and he was probably taken seriously when he said that. I do not think that poetry should be removed from the high school curriculum. Poetry is just about the only thing making the subject English interesting and more simple. I actually  like poetry and believe the sooner you start to learn about something , the better you will be at it in the future. If someone doesn’t like something you can not use reverse

Many people who write poems understand the world around them more than the average populace, due to the fact that they can observe nature itself in a finer aspect in comparison to a person who doesn’t. The reason why I say this is because they train themselves to be more self-aware about the surroundings around them. In my personal opinion, I believe
