  1. What is poetry? Poetry is an art that is written or spoken in rhythmical composition. The purpose of poetry is to entertain by creating a beautiful or imaginative thought. Some poetry is written in verses. There are many different types and formats for poetry varying by the lines, repetition, and rhyming. Two popular subjects often used in poetry are nature and feelings.

  2. How to write a poem: Writing a poem is all about observing the world within or around you. A poem can be about anything, from love to the rusty gate at the old farm. Writing poetry can help you become more eloquent and improve your linguistic style. However, if you're not used to writing poetry, you may be at a loss as to where to start. Although poetry writing is definitely a skill that improves with practice (just like any other type of writing). A good way to start writing poetry is to keep a journal of different ideas. Next, pick a poetry format to use. Then write a poem that follows the lines, syllables and other format details for that type of poetry. Fourth, proofread your poem to make sure it is free of errors. Lastly, publish your piece of writing by typing your poem and adding a picture or clip art. http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Poem

  13. 10 examples of Famous Poems A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departedBut a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted.  Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past?  That holy dream - that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding.  What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afarWhat could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star?

  23. History of Poetry • The history of poetry is as long as the history of modern man.  Many scholars  believe poetry predates literacy. The oldest written works on Earth are all presented in some poetic form. The style is believed to have aided memorization and oral transmission. The Ancient Sumerian poem, Epic of Gilgamesh , is one of the earliest pieces of literature in existence.  An epic poem, it tells of the adventures of a King who spurned the advances of a goddess and embarks on a quest for immortality. Ancient Greeks were fond of relaying historical events in the form of poetry. Homer’s Odyssey and  Iliad being the most well known examples. Epic poems were the way to transfer your great story to the masses. It was understandable to a wide range of citizenry. It was also around this time that short form poetry such as hymns, psalms, suras, and hadiths were becoming widespread. Many of them took on a rhythmic structure approaching a form of music. Most notably hymns which were written to be sung. This branch of poetry sprung from the more pleasant side of religion as worshipers looked to exalt their GOD or Gods in song.  It was inevitable that poetry and music would mix. From the Ancient Greek “orchestras” to the bards of the Renaissance, poetry and music were a match made in heaven. The first “song lyrics”. Other examples of rhythmic poetry include limericks, riddles, and many jokes.
