Intro to Poetry

We've decided to begin this blog with hopes that we can spread our knowlegdge of poetry to others. Hopefully, someone out there that reads this blog will see a different side of poetry by the time they've reached the end of it. As long as we can affect the poetic mind of one of our readers, this blog has accomplished it'a purpose. We have concluded that poetry is a collaberation of thoughts and ideas that are written down for others to enjoy and analyze. Reading poetry is more fun than watching a movie; poems provide the reader with the necessary details to visualize contents of the poem. In simpler terms, you make your own movie. This stretches the imagination. Studying poetry is a great way to enhance your creativity. After reading and studying poetry, you can even write your own poems. This is a great way to test your knowledge, and really see what you have learned. We've learned that poetry can be one of the best ways to express yourself, and that there's an infinate amount of porms you can write. There is an endless amount of kinds of poems: happy poems, sad poems, angry poems, meloncholy poems, intellectual poems, etc. We hope to learn more about the lives of authors who have written poems so that we could understand why the poems may have been written a certain way. We are eager to deeper explore the halls of poetry.
