Poetry - What's It? Can You Say, Please? Poem by Adilson Pinto

I have been trying to define what is the poetry! So many people dedicate themselves to write poetry; they belong to poetical clubs, poetical Sites, they participate of poetical competitions, they publish books, which means that poetry is something really good, extraordinary!

I am a poet, someone may say! What it proofs that you are a poet? Oh! I write verses! But, is the poetry just in the lines which someone write? Writing a line under another line - is it to make poetry? What's poetry? Where is the poetry? A painter says that he makes poetry when he paints! A sculptor says he make poetry when he works in his sculpture! A musician says that he makes poetry when he composes a symphnony!

Was Beethoven not a poet? Was Van Gogh not a poet? Was Rodin not apoet? If they were poets,so poetry is everywhere, blessing everybody!

So I conclude that poetry is the expression of the Self of the artist no matter which artistic area he approaches! The artist has inside himself a colorful world, a soul full of sonority, a very well modeled mind!

His intellect in full of creative words too!
He is a conventional poet, a writer among his pair! Wow! ! !
