The Definition of Poetry

Poetry is a universal language that is either completely misunderstood or completely understood and when applied, can be life changing. It is the written ability to say so much by saying very little. Poetry gives life to the still pages of a book. It has the power to sting, the power to heal, the power to transform, or the power the destroy. The power of poetry when it is understood, is limitless. Poetry is timeless, and transcends the hand of the clock, reaching from generation to generation. From era to era, giving lessons from the past to those who absorb it in the future.
