Reading and Writing Poetry

For most of us, we love poetry because it is a unique kind of language that

E W DO R R G J W LJ D G PERO K R JK SR W FD ODW R
K PD S L Fes and observations about life and the universe around us. While a
song has lyrics and is musically composed to move us emotionally, a poem is written
in verses that attempt to enhance our understanding of the world we live.
