What Is Poetry

What is Poetry What is Poetry ? It is a projection of the mind that is created on paper in many forms and types we may not know of yet. The poem form is like music and mathematics, it has similar overtones as it works by formula, a poem can be a great work like that of William Shakespeare or simply written by either you or I, it comes in many forms in a story, lyric narrative and sometimes completely unknown. It is how we conceive it, we are all capable of such literature, everything we write is a form of poetry, When a poem is written our critics sometimes say 'That is not a poem', how can we really say that as it is up to the writer to decide, what is not a poem may still qualify as a poem in one form or another, the answer to this riddle is it is different to the rest of poetry as we all know it, we all need to accept it as we cannot discriminate against it.
