Poetry
Poetry: the use of language outside of prose. But, it is so much more. It breathes life into words. It gives them hearts, and it gives them souls. Poetry allows these lines to dance elegantly like figure skaters tracing their feet along smooth ice. Like magic words, they create something out of nothing. These simple sounds sound splendidly. They bring tears, and laughter, and sadness, and gladness. They inspired our forefathers, they inspire us, and they will inspire our children. It is puzzling to ponder that even unspoken poems can create explosions. Most dictionaries define words using words in prose, but that leaves so much unsaid. In order to truly define poetry, one must use poetry itself.
