  2. What is Poetry? • Poetry is the most emotionally charged means of written expression and it consists of words arranged in patterns of sound and imagery to spark an emotional, and intellectual response from us. Poetry is the language of the imagination, of feelings, of emotional self expression, of high art. Prose explains, but poetry sings. The language in poetry is musical, precise, memorable and magical. Definition of Poetry (Russell, 2005, pp. 176-177) www.2.nkfust.edu.tw/~emchen/CLit/Poetry.htm

  3. Poetry – Eleanor Farjeon What is Poetry? Who knows? Not a rose, but the scent of the rose; Not the sky, but the light in the sky; Not the fly, but the gleam of the fly; Not the sea, but the sound of the sea; Not myself, but what makes me See, hear and fell something that prose Cannot; and what it is who knows? (from Eleanor Farjeaon’s Poems for Children, 1938)

  4. My definition of poetry Poetry is beauty. It is words creating sound and pictures. It is a form of expression that soothes the soul, ignites fire, creates passion and sometimes hides its meaning.
