Heartstrings
Poetry is liquid; flowing freely over the eyes and nose and ears. Poetry cannot be touched, but it can be felt, it can tug at your heartstrings and the edges of your eyes.
It is not something to be described, but is like describing a feeling - say, taking a bite out of a rich, creamy brownie, or the feeling of when you spring off the edge of the diving board and feel the water slap at your skin, when the roller coaster mounts the very tip-top and plunges down.
The feeling of your heart tearing when you say goodbye, the feeling when you run through the rain to catch their hand one last time.
That is poetry, poetry makes your heart beat and slow, because poetry is feeling.
