Poetry is life distilled.

Children can write poetry and then, unless they're poets, they stop when reach puberty.

Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle.

I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published.

Rap is rhythm and poetry. Hip-hop is storytelling and poetry as well.
