Jul 1, 2010 - Thank you for that. It is a poetic framework within which lies the essence of it's own meaning. I would have answered that poetry is a collection of words and meanings that are woven together so as to pour out a subjective meaning or feeling which can then, hopefully, be felt by another soul.Rather than telling us what poetry is, you showed us.
