What is Poetry?

Hi Ewan, have you swallowed a thesauras? What does it mean? KISS.

Hello again Trevor, you really should stop SHOUTING your name.
You're not related to ULTI are you?

Mangone, I'm afraid I am. The old ones are the best, aren't they?

:O)

If you have a thesaurus, perhaps you could hazard a guess?

This is a perfect representation of 'what is poetry'. A short, concise and clever poem. It is almost like a little list of 'laws' to remember about poetry, but doesn't make poetry sound pedantic. In fact, I like this so much I will print it out and stick it in my notebook... that is, if you don't mind of course ;-)

A big well done from me.

Nathan.

I don't bloody know either...but pretty sure this comes close. I love 'em short...women too, strangely, :O

I still have no idea... But I have fun trying. Really like this one of yours, Ewan. Top work.

Hi Julie, you may want to consider posting this question on the forums, there are many writers on here that would be happy to explain, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to answer correctly, in fact I would be interested to know myself, all the best,:~}
