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

My favorite poem is by Maya Angelou Phenomenal Woman because it serve as an inspiration to all woman. Some people may look at this poem and associate it with unattractive people or obesite people. When I read Phenomenal Woman I know exactly the message the author is trying to get across. I think she is saying you do not have to look like supermodel or pretty woman to be an Phenomenal Woman. It is not always about the way you look but how you hold yourself together is what make you the person you are not. Your outside appearance is nothing compared to what lies within yourself. The poem also emphasis respect for oneself and tells woman to act and feel confident. What I think I can learn from this poem to improve or expand my poetry is using analogies in poems to enhance to creativity and the flow of my poems. I feel like my poems are not creative or do not have a twist to them.

I choose these words because I felt they describe me as a person and the type of person I am. I know its corny but maybe it would give you all a better understanding of who I am. I think creating a list of adjectives about a person, place, or thing is a great way to begin a poem. I am not poet but within my many years of schooling and college. I know that you can not just start writing. You have to plan and brainstorm.
