About This Quote

Poetry is a form of writing that uses rhythm, rhyme and other poetic devices to express ideas. Poems can be long or short, formal or informal. Poetry has been written since ancient times and is still widely read and performed today. Poetic inspiration comes from deep inside and may be found in everyday life or nature.

Poets take what they see or hear and use it as a starting point to create something new that may not have been originally intended. Poems are not written primarily to persuade others, but rather to convey their own thoughts, feelings and experiences. In the modern era, writers often use poetry as a way to describe themselves or their lives.
