Week 1 : the definition of poetry

Poems are a piece writing written in stanzas. Sometimes they rhyme and other times they don't. To me a poem is just when someone writes about something that is really important to them. It could be a person, an emotion, a place, anything but it's important. It's a part of their life story. It means something to them. Sometimes it's about an argument or something you witness happening. It could be a personal thing or you could be writing from someone else's point of view. Most poems talk about an emotion. They have creative, descriptive words. If they don't, they tend to be "weak."
