Poetry
Poetry is an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. It consists largely of oral or literary works in which language is used in a manner that is felt by its user and audience to differ from ordinary prose.It may use condensed or compressed form to convey emotion or ideas to the reader's or listener's mind or ear; it may also use devices such as assonance and repetition to achieve musical or incantatory effects. Poems frequently rely for their effect on imagery, word association, and the musical qualities of the language used. The interactive layering of all these effects to generate meaning is what marks poetry.Because of its nature of emphasizing linguistic form rather than using language purely for its content, poetry is notoriously difficult to translate from one language into another: a possible exception to this might be the Hebrew Psalms, where the beauty is found more in the balance of ideas than in specific vocabulary. In most poetry, it is the connotations and the "baggage" that words carry (the weight of words) that are most important. These shades and nuances of meaning can be difficult to interpret and can cause different readers to hear a particular piece of poetry differently. While there are reasonable interpretations, there can never be a definitive interpretation.
Benefits of writing a poetry
Writing poetry is a way to grow emotionally and intellectually, as language articulates and frames experience symbolically. Writing poetry is also a natural process, serving people's innate need to explain themselves and their lives in the world (a desire that is particularly strong during adolescence). Writing poetry produces a concrete product that is a source of pride and that can be recognized. Writing poetry is a vehicle for expressing altruistic values and philosophical explorations about life's meaning. And writing poetry is a free and available resource that can be used for self-exploration, gratification, and healing for a lifetime. Here is a fuller list of 5 benefits of writing poetry:
I.Poetry provides a cultural context and expressive model that supports openness and emotional honesty.
II.People who write poetry feel listened to and not judged.
III.People who write poetry exercise insight and sensitivity, sometimes in profound and illuminating ways.
IV.The act of creating poetry reinforces ego strengths, including realizations about who I am, what I think,
what my life has been like, what I want, and what I can accomplish.
V.Poetry provides a safe and private experience, with individual control over the outcome.
