Quotes about Poetry
Poetry is an art form or a literary form whose basic elements are sound and rhythm. Poetry is a collection work of poems that may or may not be related by theme, style or author. “Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder with a dash of the dictionary” said Kahlil Gibran. Poetry is also compared to music as both of them have similar characteristics; they come from the heart, they touch the emotions and feelings of people and they are universal. A poet is not made; he is born with talent. Age is not a barrier for poet, only the knowledge, skill and language matter. “A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry and see a fine picture everyday of his life “said Johann von Goethe. Poetry makes life beautiful because he who learns to enjoy poetry, enjoys life. Read these quotes on poetry and enjoy life.
