The Power of Poetry

“How do you define poetry?”

poets’ questions

Poetry is like coffee for the soul We’re always searching for that little fix It’s the ultimate pick me up The one thing that never ever lets us down A poem can make you feel. All of these emotions, positive and negative We can relate to the struggle of life through it It has a way of saying what we want to And even when nothing seems right, a poem has a way of making it right Poetry is like coffee for the soul It’s that drug that won’t let you down You can have it in the morning and the night Poetry is a way to express yourself It doesn’t need to rhyme or even make sense You can express yourself, release your emotions and thoughts through poetry.

It’s that one thing that you need to survive. It’s a pick-me-up, an escape, a way of helping when nothing else will do. It will give you an outlet to express yourself, and it lets your emotions flow without holding back. Poetry is an expression of your soul, and maybe even more. It’s more than just a way to escape reality. It’s a way to escape everything, even the world itself.

Desmond Amani Cabanilla thank you for your question.

Poetry is the act of creating a poem. This can be a rhymed poem, an epic poem, a sonnet, or any combination that evokes emotion and sheds light on the life and its meaning. Poetry is the most powerful thing that exists, as it can change you in so many ways. It can unconditionally make you feel good about yourself as long as your heart is pure enough to allow it to do so.

I’d be interested to know how you define poetry…

Poetry is everywhere 💚 But the question is, how much do you love it?
