In Your Own Words: Fourteenth Post (Definition of Poetry)
Cassedy’s definition of poetry is very simple. I’m not sure that I like it. I like that she explained that poems don’t have to rhyme or have really any format at all to be poems, but I’m not sold on her “a poem is a feeling” definition. What about story poems? What are they? They aren’t really feelings, so her definition doesn’t work for them. There are many other poems it doesn’t work for either.
I know. I’m being picky. I don’t care.
