What Poetry Is Comments

En enchanted expression has been made on What Poetry is? Poetry has many forms as per the thinking of a poet or poetess. Poetry may be a ladder to climb up to Heaven or it may be an angel on wings with tidings of hope of peace. It may be a sea of tranquillity or a flash of liberation from assaults of pain.It may be a a candle flame in a darkening world. The way of your presentation is most appreciated. Great work.

Poetry, if you are all these let us fall at your feet bless us in our art may we splurge in fancy and conjure up worlds from words! Your words provide a true meaning for what poetry is all about.

It is the fun that you get, the friends that you made and knowing that you can still think straight. Thank you for making me aware of what I was trying to do.

A window to look at the world through and much much more......Valsa you covered it all. When all else feels ordinary this poem takes me into unordinary. Thank you for sharing.

Oh yes wow poetry is all that and more as we are enlightened by your great poetic creative thinking poem. I ESP love how u say poetry is like a ladder to climb to the heavens wow. Enjoyed your wonderful poetry. Kudos. And merry Xmas in advance. Take care.

Oh yes, dear Valsa, poetry is all these things.Into notice that our modern civilization started with the great poems of the archaic period 750-450 b.d. here in Hellada, when everything that was written was written in verses focusing on the ablosute Good for humans.

Another classic, Valsa. You answer the question the title poses, and you do it with great skill...and subtlety. Indeed a poem can be a sanctuary, a refuge. It can also be the ladder and pathway from the self to the outside world, to the universe. A perfect 10.

Exquisite write Valsa with great creativity you have opened our eyes to what poetry is, an escape from sometimes a cruel world, a friend in times of solitude, a page to celebrate our joy when life is sweet! A joy to read this exquisite poem with such deep revelations of what poetry is!

I agree with the speaker...poetry is all of these things...and the poet a vessel invoked upon the seas of inspiration by the forces of the universe. Write! :) Thanks for sharing your poetic expression Valsa. Well done.

our poems may not be light houses but could be fireflies on a starless night! .....................A beautiful poem.
