POETRY

Poetry teaches us.
It is a form of art,
like drawing, music, dance.
Form of literature
that writing could enhance.

Poetry teaches us.
It conveys emotion
or ideas expressed 
in evocative way, 
distinctively compressed.

Poetry teaches us.
It is one of the most
ancient arts when oral
histories were written
as poems were normal.

Poetry teaches us.
Before written in texts,
earliest poetry
were recited or sung.
Now, read, write poesy.

Rico Leffanta April 9, 2022 at 11:23 AM Quite right! Even today, those without written languages recall tribal history and genealogy through poetry. Aloha! Rico Leffanta April 11, 2022 at 10:59 AM Native people seldom perform any task without an accompanying song. That was the first thing I noticed about Hawai'i, the people had lost their chants and songs! Aloha! Marilene Evans April 10, 2022 at 5:22 PM Mahalo, Rico! Yes, in the beginning, poems were written and then music were composed to sing them. It's good to take history classes in music... in different genres. Quite educational. Aloha!
