^_^ poetry is...

Assalamualaikum w.b.t..

greetings and salam to all of you..people!! feel free to complete this sentence, "Poetry is..." WHAT??!!


in poetry class last Tuesday, I silently asked myself, 'what is poetry to me that I have to learn it?' or 'why should I learn poetry?' the answer would be easy for people out there as they know what I'm doing now. clearly it is because I'm doing a bachelor in english language and literature.ha.ha.nope!!not even close people..well, even that is the reality, it doesn't mean that I have to do bachelor in english in order to fall in love with poetry wuheehee~~~

I learnt poetry/literature since ages ago..if I'm not mistaken, when I was in form 1(whoaarghh!!that would be 6years ago huhu). honestly, I am NOT a good poet..I'm not capable enough to make up a verse or even verses of bombastic, meaningful and flowery words, to think a rhythmic sentences that may give a joyful reading to readers or even think a wise message that I should convey to others huhu.. 


when Miss Shena asked 'what is poetry to you?', some of my classmates answered it as mysterious, beautiful, transparent,etc. however, some of us also replied it as cynical, skeptical and dark..wuhooo~~I guess, everyone has their own perspective regarding 'what is poetry to you?'.

personally, in my very own thought, poetry is an art work. WHY?? it is all because due to the fact that a poet use words to convey message of love, warning or even to express his/her emotions. it is a very rare ability for human beings to be able to express themselves very well in such a few sentences or even in a few words.


conversely, poetry seems unable to capture  youngster nowadays. the use of poetry is no longer relevance in the presence kind of world.for more information regarding to this issues, you guys can check out this can poetry matter?, an essay by Dana Gioia. actually, our lecturer suggested us to read Dana Gioia opinions and thoughts concerning the matter of poetry. no longer wants to scrambling  and scratching nonsense, I'll stop here. 
enjoy your reading. =)
