Poetry can be described as a physical release of emotion through a different combination of words in other words poetry is a way for an author to express their feeling and emotions through words. It can also be many images and ideas formed in a stanza to imply feelings of the author. There is no exact definition of poetry because it reflects how that person is feeling at that given time. What one may think is poetry another might think is a bunch of words in a paragraph. Poetry can be written to inspire people, show appreciation or dedication to a person, or just be a way of communication. Off hand I know of two types of poetry, that is a narrative poem which tells a story about someone or something and a heroic poem which focuses on the good deeds and efforts of a person. These two different types of poem may occur in poetry but you can not put an label on what the writers attention is/was for poem. The only thing an reader can do with a work of art or poetry is get what he/she can out of that particular poem. No one knows what the author ultimate purpose for a poem is not unless that happening to meet him/her and ask.
Poetry is a reflection of feeling on a specific subject

I totally agree with your description of poetry. It's hard to explain because it is something that varies from person to person.
