Definition: Poetry to me is a painting on the canvas. Poet uses words instead of paint, and you are the canvas. We use poetry as a language to express feelings. Poems relate to imagery by using descriptive words to set and image in the reader's mind.
Example:
Rattlesnake stew
centipede salad
seaweed and jellyfish sandwich
milk mixed with glue
a-chocoberry pie
I hope the old bat doesn’t die!
Significance:
Firstly, it is the voice of your thought. When you want to express your feeling through some kind of oral art, you will definitely think of poetry. Secondly, it expressed beauty. A fancy art in itself, poetry incites a person to see beyond the missing bells and whistles that have been deliberately removed from the poetry and finally, last but not least, it depicts historical events. Poetry has been in existence since ages. Poems from the ancient historical eras give us a glimpse of the previous generations, right from depicting historical events to the primeval lifestyles.
