What is Poetry?
March 17, 2015
What is poetry?
Everything
Poetry can be passionate;
It can be sincere;
And it can be insightful;
But what most people aren't aware of,
Or rather,
What they do not wish to admit,
Is that poetry can also be empty;
It can be dark;
It can be cold;
It can be destructive.
Poetry can be used to convey the most sincere confessions of love
Or to reveal the darkest thoughts of hatred.
Poetry is everything
And everything is poetry.

I was asked to use one word to describe poetry in my English class and I got to think; how could anyone possibly use one word to describe something as indescribable as poetry? So I wrote this as my response and decided to post it online.
