About This Quote
As a poetry lover myself, I have always been the person who felt the need to share my passion for poetry with others. Although people can enjoy poetry at its best, it is often the case that they don’t actually read it themselves. The idea of poetry being a form of communication is what makes me think of this quote. Often times, people don’t take the time to communicate with others in a meaningful way.
With poetry, you are invited to enter into a conversation with someone else. It allows you to express yourself in ways that are unique to you and may not be able to be done otherwise. As such, poetry has the power to bring out emotions.
