poem is.......?

tell me the speicific difinition about poems thanks

A verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, characterized by the use of language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter, metaphor, and rhyme.

A way to express inner feelings

agree poems express your feelings thoughts and imagination because in our minds there are many wild things that need to be written in poem... ps they don't have to rhyme 100% of the time
luv from broken_reflection xoxoxo *hugs*

Poetry is the verbalization of an inner passion that can't be contained.It is almost impossible to define the arts-be it poetry, fiction, art or music.It is something you feel.Whether you write for yourself or others doesn't matter.My favorite credo is 'I write because I cannot NOT write'.
If interested in various views, advice, etc. check out my posting in the WRITING POETRY forumn entitled NOTES ON WRITING POETRY.

Peace, Poetry & Power,
