Poetry.
In Literature class, we have been reading about poetry and I would the discussions and readings have changed my point of view in some way because there are some facts I already knew about poetry. One of the things we discussed was that something becomes "poetry" when the author transmits his/her feelings in words and make them in such a perfect way because the words have rhyme without affecting the meaning of the message. I also believe that poetry is a way of interpreting the world in all its manners. The feelings you have inside are what make you write poetry and this poetry causes more feelings on the readers. Poetry is about express your feelings without saying something, is about writing those feelings.
A poem needs to have rhyme and meter because these elements are what makes a poem unique. It can also have rhetorical figures, therefore, readers will have to reflect deeper when reading the poem, and its meaning will be stronger and richer.
Personally, I prefer romantic, heartbreaking or motivational poems over all. What I like about them is that most of the times whenever you don't understand something, at the end, the important thing about reading a poem, is the interpretation you give to it.
The discussions in class made me realize the importance and purpose of poetry. I realized that poems are written based on experiences and feelings.
A poem must have poetry, if not, it wouldn't be a poem. Poetry still exists without being in a poem, because it can be created without intentions. Also, a poem becomes a poem when a man uses poetry to express his feelings, thoughts or experiences.
"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness."
-Robert Frost
