Definition: a written art of a combination of words which express a feeling, an idea, an expression. Poetry can be rhyme, rhythm and each words in the poem has each own meaning.
Example:
I am not yours
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind
Sarah Teasdale
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind
Sarah Teasdale
Significance: We should use poetry to express our feelings, to describe something. Poetry is a part of Language Art because when we read a poem, we will have to think closely about the meaning of it, we need to analyze the art.
