-What is the movie saying about poetry? Support your comment.

     I think the movie is saying that poetry is a piece of writing where you get to express yourself through the words on your page. The writing is about passion and emotion, the thought of freeing your mind, and the feel of expressing yourself through words. You can write anything your mind dreams of, it can be as simple as a few words, or as much as a book, the information can be brief or very detailed. There are many types of poetry and many designs (included at the bottom), created by many people. No matter what people think, poetry is always fun and exciting.

Types of Poetry

 

List: A poem that is made up of a list of items or events. It can be any length and it can also rhyme or not rhyme.

Rhyme: A rhyming poem that has the repetition of the same or similar sounds of two or more words, often at the end of the line.

Shape: Poetry written in the shape or form of an object.

-What do you think of poetry? How is it similar and different than the movies point of view of poetry?

     I think poetry is like painting, but instead of paint the artist (you) uses words.  By using word choice and innovation, a poem can appear out of thin air.  It makes it's reader feel an intense emotion, like happiness, sadness, love...  Poetry is imagination, it will free your mind of the chains that hold you down. Poetry is like grabbing an invisible object, once you grab it, it is no longer invisible. Poetry is like what I have written, an ongoing list of words. Poetry is freedom.

     I think the difference between the movie's definition and mine is that the choice of words used. The similarities between these definitions are endless. I think the movie explained the definition I wrote into simple terms. We both explained that poetry is free and full of passion, makes the reader feel emotions, and it can be any length. I think the world lives on poetry and it can be written by anyone.
